Daughters Powerwheels Jeep

[2165 Turbo Rail]

Stacy (wife) decided to get our daughter Morgan ( just turned 2) a Barbie beetle for Christmas since she did pretty decent in my nephews lighting McQueen car this weekend

Like everything else, I found a forum that is a group of people that modify Powerwheels ( www.modifiedpowerwheels.com)
I see theses guys making them faster and higher and blah blah blah but they also put lights in them. Soooo instead of messing up Morgan's Christmas present I decided to buy a jeep off of CL that way I can mod it and we can leave it at my dads place at the lake for her

So this is what it started as and will cosmetically remain the same (probably)

And this is hour it sits now after a few hours of playing around. Took me a while to figure out the best way to wire it and do all the damn LEDs and resistors and all that shit. Next time ill use pretty-wired or even the strip LEDs or something. That resistor hit is for the birds!

Super white 5mm with 840ohm 1/2 watt resistors
Super red 5mm LEDs with 470ohm 1/2 watt resistors
blue 3 groups LED stick on lights for inside (1, 3 LED group over drivers feet and 1 over pass. feet)

This is all powered of a dedicated 12v battery mounted under the seat ( factory battery is under the hood)


This was the best place for the 3 switches ( 1: interior blue lights, 2: headlight and tail lights. 3: front and top fog lights)




Headlights. There's a plastic lens and brush guard that goes over this




Taillights


Blue interior lights


Ignore my trashy ass garage

Cool. I'm glad I never saw that page until mine had outgrown their power wheels. I did do a color change on the VW bug one, it it was too girly for my youngest (boy). It went from purple to blue with lots of racing stickers.
