A few years ago I rebuilt the from my childhood, maybe my favorite Lego set of all time, and Ive been wanting to rebuilt it with more modern parts while keeping the original shapes, proportions and of course light function. The build went quite easily and only took a few hours, but the lighting system was quite challenging. My first idea was to use PF lights, but it was a failure. In the end, Im using 3 light bricks: a whiteyellow for the cockpit console, and two red ones for the main lights. A knob allows to switch the lights on and of (Ill try to make a picture of the mechanism). I also had to redesign the cell pod, again trying to keep the same size and shape. I added a M-Tron magnet on top because magnets are cool And that allows me to secure the pod at the back of the Striker without using clips.
