Cool! How did you even wire this???

Cool! How did you even wire this???

Each fixture is wired in parallel with a common pickup at the bottom where all 4 tie together to the wall feed.

I wanted to try and keep it mostly looking like you could unscrew the bulbs and ride it, so I used the base plates for the trucks, and swapped the axle shaft for 1/2" galvanized pipe. I drilled a hole in the "T" fitting to allow a bolt through, and then used the bushings and plates from the original setup with a longer kingpin bolt to keep it looking kind of stealthy. It's not perfect, but it's good enough.

The wiring is all run internally in the pipes, then out, another hole I drilled, through and existing opening in the base plate, and through a hole I had to drill to get the wires to the back side. From there I have it zip tied / hot glued the the top of the deck to keep it neat.

You mean you can switch it from a light back to a skate board? I was impressed before, now I'm super impressed!

Yeah. I had to drill 2 3/8" holes in the deck to pass the wires through, but the trucks and grip tape would cover them and they're not compromising the structural integrity of the deck. 100% functional if you wanted to skate it.

I think it's actually paper rolled up in there. The print seems so tiny though! Maybe paper towels? I found this tutorial though! I'm getting closer. Lol
