HT T-800 with different headsculpt?

[Darklord Dave]

I've got the Hero heads from Terminator 1 and the Hot Toys T-800. Has anyone tried using the light up eyes assembly from the T-800 in a resin head?

I've got some ideas on how to do it, but if anyone else has already done the prototyping - I'm curious to learn what you did.

I think Xenoviper is the person who can help you.

I also think member "Hurricane" may have done this as well

Since the head is solid resin you'd probably have to do some serious drilling...
Both through the bottom of the neck as well as the eye, and insert wired up LED to it.

Theres a better way of doing it but involves casting.

Hurricane did the light-up eye, yeah:
