This is my first attempt at a complex LED lit vehicle. 1mm micro bulbs would have been much easier and faster. I can't find a source for the 1mm 1½ volt micro bulbs so I'm stuck using LEDs.
Even working on the bottom is a problem, the #36 Litz wire has a mind of its own.
The marker LEDs turned out pretty good but the taillights need work.
I went with a polarized micro connector between tractor and trailer (polarized because of the LEDs).
All the rest of my vehicles operate on 1.4 volts and use a Mel connector to the road for power, I decided to go with Arduino connectors on my LED lit vehicles to prevent having the ability to plug in a 1.4 volt vehicle into a 12 volt socket would be very bad.
I'll trim the marker fibers after I paint the roof.
When it's finished I'll update this post with a finished picture.
As this picture shows the tiny 0603 compared to a 1206, the 1206 is below Roosevelt's ear and the 0603 is near his nose.

Nice Post!!
Please look here at Lithium Ion Battery
Boy, you really know what you are doing. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to go that deep.😊
