LEGO PF LIGHTS HACK

A short video showing off one of the rare time i modify LEGO parts. Here I take the casing off the Power Functions Lights to allow better fit inside of LEGO components. All you need is a small screwdriver and... a hammer!

This hack was used in my "LEGO DALEK NXTerminate" robot

**************WARNING*****************
*WEAR SAFETY GLASSES
*BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT WIRES
*THIS IS IRREVERSIBLE AND CANNOT BE UNDONE

If you accidently damage a led you can still use the cable for other custom PF connection

That's not a hack, it's not even a glitch, hacking and glitches have to do with software, not hardware.

@Lengi123 :) urban dictionary,

definition #7 hack :

-- a clever solution to a tricky problem

-- to hack is to mod or change something in an extrodinary way

A solution to a constant trouble: How to fit PF Lights in standard LEGO bricks! Yes this is very useful hack ...although I hate to hack my LEGO (BTW, thanks for the baz-light sample you sent me). ;)

@NeXTSTORMING You could make your own "lights". I've made three homemade LED lights with blue 2x2 lego blocks as casing. Maybe I'll post a video about it.

Btw your vids are awesome! =)

@ArkadionofToast It may go a long way but it also looks bad. And with how small the wires are you would probably end up damaging them even more again. And most people probably wouldn't have soldering gear lying around to do so.

[ArkadionofToast]

Interesting, I might have to look into using this sometime.

@BloodNinja7 A little soldering goes a long way.

[BloodNinja7]

Yeah but now that you removed the casing what happens when those lil wires break? No more lights at all.
