In terms of lights, there a few sellers who offer superb light kits. www.gbfans.com offer their own electronics kits with the beauty of these being that they simply clip together, requiring no soldering at all. They offer lighting and sound kits, both of which interact with each other and offer a number of modes for you to tweak and tailor your pack to your liking. These include all the video game sounds and modes, colour changing barrel lights ( in order to get colour changing pack lights, you will need to buy the expansion kit from the creator of kit, Spongeface. You’ll find him on the for sale section on gbfans) and an interactive mode is also and additional feature on the board. A random ghost sound will play and if you’re quick enough to fire, you’ll get a quote from the movies, how cool is that?

Prop Forge offer what some consider to be the most screen accurate lights available. Some soldering knowledge is required but for the most part, the kit is plug and play.
