Can anybody help. I have installed the lighting strip on the engine light units and both only light some of the lights in the strip. Could the strip be at fault ? Is there an alternative to use as the issues on eBay are way to expensive. Thanks Andy.

I had put my own LED lighting in the rear engines, see the Millennium Falcon custom build page 5.

If you do this I would highly recommend wiring the lighting to the main power supply as I did. The new light will probably be a different power to what is supplied and connecting them to the circuit board could damage it.

You can purchase a reel of lighting LED’s and cut them to size, as long as you cut in the section specified.

I used 12 volts, if memory serves me right the power supply is 9v, but should still work. I think the LED’S are sold as working between 8-12v

I hope that helps.

Thanks Mark, will follow the strip lights you show. The supplied strip lights are from 05/16 so are old stock so may have deteriorated, only showing 6 lights one side and 5 on other with an odd amount flashing. Appreciate your help Andy.
