[TUTORIAL] MG Zaku 2 Monoeye LED mod

Here's a bit of tutorial on how I would mod the MG Zaku 2 mono-eye to light up using LEDs.

I used 0603 SMD LED for the mono-eye since I plan to keep the articulation gimmick in the eye. 


First, I cut off the peg that is used to insert into the clear piece of the eye. Then drill holes where the wires will go. 




I can't drill straight through to the back of the mono-eye piece ping the piece will be turning and the wires might prevent the eye from turning. So instead I drilled 2 holes on each side of the mono-eye piece so that when the piece turns, it will not hit the guide post behind the moving mono-eye piece. I left enough slack in the wires to make sure they don't get pulled too much when the eye turns.
