Here is where the lights run off the 8 pin socket.

Black/Red are the turret rotation motor.
Blue/Brown are the Barrel Up/Down
Green/White are the lights.

The standard HL socket has couple more wires for the machine gun/main gun but I didn't use these as my Elmod has alternative circuits available, and I don't have an airsoft.

Thanks for the pics Wibbly, will definately come in handy

Hi Wibbly ,
Looks good another thing on my Tiger to alter ! Thanks excelent shots of how you did , thank you.

just a small point , the convoy light was not that bright, not a good idea a full company of tanks in a line following a realy bright light, the allied bombers / fighter bombers would have a field day
all the best, ice

funny you should say that ice, I was talking to a very good friend about this point and we came to the same conclusion, a dull light rather than a bright light would be more practicable due to the allied air superiority.

Check out the electroluminecent strips on modern fighters - just enough for their wingman to be able to form up on - but invisible at more than 500m...

Heres the latest attempt at the convoy light using fibreoptic cable thanks Fv432 for this and for the advice and all the others who posted ides  Here is some picts . Its still not finished yet , some slight adjustmants needed. It looks very bright in one pict but its just the photograpth . Ive got to wire it in next via an on/off switch.

wow andy that looks the dogs mate

Hi fv432 ,
Thanks but it wouldnt be if it were not for your help , thanks . To get the fibreoptics from the LED inside the tank to the outside I had to drill the four holes through the lamp holder and the bracket . And that was fidley . I decided to cut a strip out of the lens rather than drill four more holes in that to . It was either that or feed them from the top which wouldnt look correct or from the bottom which was blocked by the mount . But thanks for your coments .

Andy
