I recently just bought a Chaos Reaver Titan off a guy at my FLGS and I want to try and make the eyes light up. Most of it is assembled but the large pieces, including the head and top carapace above the cockpit, are magnetized so I can still work inside the cockpit. The eyes also have that small thin layer of resin still and was wondering if there is a place I could buy plastic lenses to use so I can cut that out. My end goal would be to get them to glow green but I have no experience on wiring LED lights into models so I have no idea where or how to start this. If anyone could post sites or video walk throughs and decent products that they'd suggest that'd be great!

Just buy a cheap toy with LEDs and scavenge that.

model railway forums are the place to check, just use a battery in place of the rail power supply - some surface mount LEDs (tiny) and surface mount resistors for each one (also tiny) glued into place then conductive paint may work.

Otherwise ask around your club and see if anyone knows how to solder and can rig something for you
