[MOD] LEGO 21108 Ghostbusters Custom SMD LEDS

[mtrkustoms]

Hi all,

Im so glad to present my MOD of the 21108 Ghostbuster car with custom SMD LEDs controlled by an ARDUINO UNO.

In the process no Original set pieces was modified, but 10 vault pieces were modified and glued in order to fix the leds and pass the cables trought the model.

And the best way to see it, a little demostration video.

PS: The process of soldering the SMDs and cable routing was a nightmare, but the result deserves it.

A small update with pictures

Full model with a street display (arduino housing included)

Detail of the instalation of the SMD leds,

Front lights (modified round bricks and some kragel to fix it)

Upper lights (plate with right holder modified and round plate kragelized)

Upper principal lights (no kragel or modification, just the SMD led placed and fixed with 4 round plates below the cheese slopes)

Some details of the cable routing

Detail of the soldering plate with all cables and resistances soldered

Arduino housing and cables for conect all lights

Hope you enjoy it

Wow Epic...I'm blowin' away here, also on the sides did you add in those 1x1 white tiles? In my second detailing mod video I've explained what I did to them, I can't tell in the camera really.

Awesome!, that's how I lit up my original lego ideas prototype, I've since retrofitted it into the new one too.

SMDs rock but yeah they're a huge pain to work with. I won't be removing them from the official one, ever.

I would definitely buy that if it had the lights.

thanks for the replies

I just updated the first post with some pictures of the model and the SMD installation
