Its such an ambiguous question.. http://custompony.tumblr.com/post/19305804701/finished-harry-dresden In this custom here, I set a blinking LED inside a pony skull. I used Apoxie sculpt to hold it in place. But that will be different for any other pony with any other size light.. Best advice I have is just.. don't be afraid to try things.

For instance, in putting a light inside a pony, either as an exterior thing or for a light-up cutie, how does wiring work? :huh:

I used a string light from a necklace and a fashion style size bait so the two were just right for each other. The battery pack was small enough it fit up in the hoove. The hardest thing was positioning the lights where I wanted them. I made a hole for each one and getting them in without damaging the circuit was really difficult for me. I had to redo it a whole bunch of times before I got it the way I liked it.
