help! glowing eyes / electronics

[saint ignatious]

so im working on a couple of helmets, iron man and a deepeyes most prominently. and they have a glowing eye effect that i dont really understand how to acheive. i know nightmare armor used to sell an electronics kit to make the eyes work and still see out of them, but they dont anymore. if someone could explain the process or how they got the look down i would be thrilled! im sure there is an LED kit i can buy, i just dont know what im looking for exactly

i just spent 15 hours on unwrapping the deepeyes and alredy peped the iron man (easyer to find him) and im gonna start peping later this week. looking at newyears for pep completion and maby march or april for the resin/fiberglass, all the while working to put armor together

i would also like to know this. does anyone know how to do this with EL wire?

 

[saint ignatious]

im not entirely sure what el wire is, looks like a strip of lights. im interested in it but not certain. when im further along i will be buying DN's kit and ill post pics letting everyone know how its going, but if an el wire expert can tell me how to do it i can make 2 helmets to compair. there are 4 guys in a deep eyes team anyway
