OK, so I just got a topper for my Tales From The Crypt pin. As I mounted the topper I noticed it sits toward the back of the top of the backbox...farther back than I would've thought. There are several green oval lenses in the top of the backbox. The topper sits behind these. I assume these are meant to be lit from below within the backbox? To light up the topper? There isn't enough light from the existing backbox lights to make it through these lenses.

Would anyone be able give me some tips on how I could mod this and run some lights to the green oval lenses? Physically mounting the lights wouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't know where/how I could tie in the 6 new lights. Seems like it would cast a cool green glow on the topper.

Any ideas?

Tap the GI wiring anywhere you want, and run a string up to the new lights. Just make sure you match the new bulb voltage to whatever you are tapping.
