    Good point I meant I've no problem with building the outer case it's just wiring the lights to the PSU that I have a problem with.

    I don't need the eyes to light up the street just glow. How much heat do 12v 15w bulbs kick out anyway?

    If I need to I could always fit a dimmer to bring it down a bit?

    Hmm, lots of things to think about.

    I think the reason I'm going for the screw in bulbs is I've seen him unscrew his eyes a few times and I thought house hold screw in bulbs were the closest I could get.

    But I'm probably being too anal about it as they don't really need to unscrew.

    Well, I think they do unscrew in the show but that doesn't necessarily mean you are restricted to bulbs. Hell, water bottles unscrew also.

    Lets leave the style of bulbs for a for a bit and move on to wiring.

    How do I wire bulbs be it halogen LED or whatever to my PSU?
