i used this, but put shapelock (aka polymorph) over the center lights so that you couldn't see the three individual leds, but it blended them together.all i had to do was open it up, take out the reflector plate, and mold in the shapelock.

excuse me, it would be F'ING not FING... is fing a real word? maybe finger or fling...

I don't mind the number of Arcs, each one kinda builds on the last. But it would be nice if we started showing some that looked like the real thing, rather than under the shirt. Nice and simple on this one. Would never have thought about using a pre-made light.
