    Headlights are easy to remove

    They headlights on this mold are really easy to remove. You simply open up the 'foot' and the headlights actually have a peg that extends through the outside of the foot and is simply glue/plastic-welded on the inside.

    An exacto, or dremel to remove the glue/plastic weld and the entire translucent headlight piece can be removed. To reinstall, just reinsert the peg through into the original hole and put a drop of superglue on the inside.

    A little 1000-2000 grit paper and polish cleans them up really nicely.

    I actually paint the outside of the 'foot' which is behind the translucent headlight piece silver so it appears more as a proper automotive headlight.

    There are 3 different color available for the translucent headlights, clear-c bb, smoke - c cj, and blue - c bb from walmart legends of bb 3 pack.
    The clear ones could always be painted with a translucent paint to whatever color you need.

    Runamuck would probably look good with CJ's smoked lights, and Runabout would look great with BB's clear ones tinted red.

    Thanks man.

    The alt modes are house of kolors, which I'm quickly running out of...and need to find some online.

    Thanks.

    I do have a commission coming around the bend for these guys, slightly larger (hehe) in scale, I'll leave it at that, but they will be "MP style" with the works.
