Things Youll need : 1 5mm LED red, orange, yellow or white
Hot Glue Gun, Chrome or silver paint, clear paint red or orange (tamiya makes tons of different transparent paints)1 Bic Pen, Needle nose Pliers,
1 Paperclip.

1. use the pliers to pull off the tip of the Bic pen (the whole tapered part of different colored plastic.

2. Cut a piece of the plastic tube you have a little over 1/2 inch long

3. Paint the piece silver or chrome

4. Insert the LED into the end of the tube that you cut so that it is almost sticking out of the other end.

5. put some hot glue in behind the LED so that it stays in place.

6. you may want to practice on something else first but use the Glue Gun to create "flames" on the tip of the exhaust pipe.

7. use the transparent paint to paint the flames but be careful not to get any on the silver paint.

Anyway, have you gotten anytime to take pics yet? I'd really like to see it
