today you are going to modify the Tigers headlights.
Because a tank is a military vehicle, its lights need to be covered.
That is something the HL doesn’t have.
How can you change that?
That is how it looks like before modification.
That is how it should look like.
And the cable connection is also missing.
It should look like this.
Before you can start modification, you should get some headlight covers from a supplier and a thin wire.
1mm should do well.
First we change the covers.
Remove the old ones.
Be careful, they can be glued.
Now you can see the LED.
That one needs to be shortened a little bit to fit behind the cover.
Don´t cut too much.
The two metal things inside the LEDs body must be completely covered.
Glue the covers to the headlight.
That´s it.
Now you do the wiring.
Therefore we need the thin wire.
You have to connect the lamp with the hull outlet.
Here again, you can see the way they did on early Tigers.
Just drill two 1mm holes as shown, cut the wire to the right length and bend it into the right shape.
The other side is mirror like, of course.
After finishing the modifications it should look like this.
If you want to, you also can add the wire clip. That makes the result almost perfect.
