I originally was going to do something different. however that fell through. so when i remembered the showing of the tic tac light, it inspired me do make it one step further, while also coming up with y own creative light switch, phone jacks.
Supplies:
1 Hot wheels Car
2 LED lights, choice of colors, but small enough to serve as
headlights
headlights
1 drill, with bits small enough to fit your car
2 phone jacks
1 phone extender
wire clippers
2 150-OHM resistors
8 three-inch wires
1 solder
2 nine-volt batteries
Hot Glue Gun

The first thing I did was soldering the LEDs,
resistors and wires to the phone jack. Also solder two wires to the split phone
extender.

Drill two holes in the metal rivets that hold
the car together. Be careful, you may have to use a small knife to help pop the
bottom. Also, once these two parts come off, the rest of the parts come off.
