I have thought about using a 10mm LED even though its still not quite enough to fill up most lens areas. On the VTA shells that I have done with lights I have not been able to go without at least part of the HPI decal across the surface of the headlight. I want it to look good without power as well you know.

I might add that on the home made buckets that I used on my HPI 70 Mach 1 Mustang at the USVTA Southern Nationals, I managed to beat the living soup out of that shell and never knocked a bucket loose or bounced an LED out of it. I went in there thinking surely I would.
