Lighting Ecto-1/1A guide

Hey there, not sure if you found the answer to this, but you have to drill from inside the chassis. It’s REALLY hard because the fender well is in the well and plus it’s metal, so it take a long time.

Hello! Could you provide more detailed photos with the wiring? as you did the headlights, etc. What material is used, etc.

Sorry for my bad english!

I want to make a software upgrade ecto 1 1:18 hot wheles.

Thank you for understanding!

I found this thread…

I’m starting my own build of the Ecto-1a for a Halloween Group Build.

I’ll be building my own circuits and lights.

As for aftermarket parts, I found the photoetch set from Paragrafix.

Any other aftermarket parts out there? As in … headlights/front grill?

Also, what’s the best chrome product? Alclad, or those Molotow chrome pens?

Thank you!

Here’s what I ended up doing.

Pretty happy with the results.

I also want some LED lights in my Ecto-1 and later in my Ecto-1A, from HWE.

What circuit boards and resistors you used in both Ectomobiles, Gbfan_85?

Hey guys, I found this thread and it’s amazing. Thanks for all the tips and specific data.

I’m trying to light up my ecto 1 and 1a 1:18 and these led list are amazing. But I have a question. How do you program them to reproduce the rotating effect?

I see they have in stock 3 nano led rotating light, but for my taste the size is too small, and only 3 leds are not enough
