Anybody know what was used for the lights in the running light housing boxes next to the eyes and up on the sides of the engines on the Galactica? I had thought it was a row of 6 3mm LED's, but now that I have some LEDs in hand, they seem a bit to big. Either that, or my light housing box is to small, but if I make that bigger than it won't look right next to the eye. So, either my measurements are off, or it was something else. Maybe some small 2 or 2.5mm grain of wheat bulbs.
Anyone know for sure?

If I remember right those lights were the display from an old calculator. Can't remember which one. I know something like that was used on Luke's Lightsaber. Maybe Jase, Charles, or the Wombat know. I have that info somewhere on an old computer, but don't know where : (. I was going to make mine from translucent orange resin and light it it from behind. That's the plan anyway. Maybe one of the old guard will chime in. If I find it first I'll post it, cheers,
Joe
