Re: Movie Optimus Prime build
If I've counted correctly, the truck will have 90 LEDs in it. So yeah it'll light up the whole dam* room if they're all on at the same time!

Re: Globeliner
Yup they're Lynns bezels. The ones for 3mm leds need a 5.1mm (#7 imperial drill bit) hole to sit in, and overlap a bit on the outside, so take up about 6mm space.

Re: Movie Optimus Prime build
Got my cab and sleeper light bars finished. Couple of finger prints to wipe off but good to go!
Love Lynns bezels, these are the 3mm ones.
