Light Kit for McLaren P1 #42172 Tech

Luminous

Hi, It's really a good kit. It's easy to install. One improvement to make it look like in the real car, would be to substitue the ribon of leds used for the front and rear ligth by a flexible tube with a led inside. Other than that it's a very nice kit Best regards

Neat lighting affect!

First off this is a difficult add on. If you are not patient you will get frustrated so embrace the challenge. The wires and connectors are very small so you need to be careful. In any event after I installed this kit it looked pretty good. I wish the kit came with some clear heat shrink tubing to help secure some of the long flexible strip lights which are only held in place with adhesive. I cut about ten 1/4” sections and placed them on the rear flexible red led strip and on the front flexible white led strips. The front flexible blue led strip needs to be shortened because while it is flexible it needs to twist a little and this makes it come loose. I shortened mine 4” and was able to secure each end on the middle section. I would suggest the addition of two 2” sections to the kit. In addition the junction connectors need better placement so they don’t reduce the bottom clearance. Lastly I would suggest not using the Lego adapter harness. Just use the battery box with the light kit.
