Installation instructions: (These instructions are for a 1:18 police car, but they follow a similar process.)

Installation is not too hard, but it will be time consuming.
  • Unscrew the 7 screws on the underside of the car and pull the chassis out of the body. Now you have your hollow police car ready to work on.
  • Remove the lenses from the inside. You can use a soldering iron and heat up the plastic stub holding the lens in place and then gently slip it out of the hole.
  • Drill holes for the head lights and tail lights. We like to use a cordless drill to drill holes and get a good quality cobalt drill bit to get through diecast metal.
  • Our lights come wired with resistors. Note: They are not pre-connected to the battery strap, we find it easier to install them when they are not part of a net of lights.
  • When you get your lights glued in place with silicone or superglue, use small strips of duct tape inside the body of the car to keep the lights and wires solidly in place.
  • Warning: Do NOT use hot glue as the heat can damage the diodes inside the LEDs.
  • Now bring all the black wires to the black wire on battery strap and twist them together. For extra security use solder or a wire nut.
  • Repeat the same process with all the red LED wires to one of the red wires on the battery strap.
  • The siren will be connected to the same negative as everything else, and the other red wire on the battery strap. This way the siren and lights can be controlled independently.
  • Drill holes for the on/off switches in a convenient location on the undercarriage of the car.
  • Connect your fresh 9 volt battery to the battery snap and put it in the trunk. You may need to remove the spare tire to fit the battery depending on the car. 

"What else is needed beside the car?"
  • Small Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the bottom of the car.
  • A variable speed cordless drill with a cobalt drill bit for drilling into the diecast.
  • We use a 7/64th drill bit when we want just the tip of the LED to poke out the hole, like behind the headlight and tail light lens. When we want the whole LED to show like on the back ledge, we use a 1/8th drill bit.
  • Glue for the lights, some people use Model Airplane canopy glue, it is used for windows on models and dries perfectly clear. You can also use silicone-based glue or superglue.
  • Epoxy to hold the 2 switches in place underneath the car.
  • Duct tape to hold wires out of the way.
  • A fresh 9 volt battery to put in the trunk.
  • Optional: Solder gun and solder to make solid connections where wires meet.
