Basic headlights are usually included with the kit.

Most times these can be improved upon.

The lens I cut from any scrap piece of clear plastic / acetate sheet. A simulated fresnel lens can be scribed on the inside.

A pin-head can simulate a bulb. Then the interior of the headlight structure painted silver to simulate the reflector.

Hope this helps

Tim

Plastic sheet from Toy Boxes as lens (the fins were made in the Plastic gently with the blade of the knife) , aluminium foil for inside and a pen to mold the hull/carcass. You can easily light this with a micro led lamp.











I hope it help you...

Greetings from Brazil!
