• Can anyone point me to a "How To" article to illuminate the campfire.  I've seen it done on several Youtube videos but would like to know how to actually do this modification.  Thanks.

• Welcome to the forum!
  I do not believe there are any official written instructions, although it has been suggested to the people that have modified their cars. One man used the flame from a votive candle, http://www.walmart.com/ip/LED-Lighted-Battery-Operated-Flicker-Flame-White-Christmas-Votive-Candle/24565505 and another used this flickering light kit. http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/flickering-fire-kit.html
  Wiring either of these products in is not that difficult if you do not wish to preserve the "disappearing" function. These men have preserved that function, increasing the complexity of the installation.
