For this car, I stripped all of the wiring off and replaced the infrared LED with one that
reached down and through the chassis. The wiring was kept to a minimum.

These cars do not have any meat in the front to anchor LEDs into so plastic tubes
were attached and dowsed in black paint to reduce the light bleed. For clarity, the
wires have not been added just yet.

This shows the rear light detail. Miniature LEDs were carefully fixed to the tubes with
some GC-Hypo cement. A couple of dabs on the resistors held them in place to aid
the positioning and soldering of the joints. The negative wire was added later, this
was quite a stiff wire that needed no support once fixed in place.

The next stage was to attach the wires from the LEDs to the circuit board.
