Step 1:
-
For this project find a really nice car photo that you like, print it using your best quality options. Then take a few lighters with LEDs and take them apart, exposing the LEDs. I connected the green and orange wires to the plus and minus terminals in parallel to the LEDs, then marked on the back of the photo where the car headlights would be.

Step 2:
-
Then took the LEDs and poked the paper in the marked spot. I did the same with the others, making sure everything is in good angle with the picture, secured everything with tape, and tested it with my 9 volt battery.

Step 3:
-
I then took a standard A4 picture frame, took it apart, and placed my photo inside. Then I contoured my 9 volt battery on the cardboard, made the cut, and put everything in place, and added a little switch which I stuck on the side of the frame and this is the result.
