Light Up Goggle Mod

Step 7 Goggle Mod, Supplemental

To silence all the non vision impaired haters, I mocked up a quick version that you could potentially see through. Cut a hole in the middle of the bottle cap, mount two LEDs, one top one bottom. This here looks pretty lame because I was out of decent LEDs, but it gets the point across. Using white ones, and diffusing them correctly it should come out OK. Also you'll have way less room to hide the batteries. Might consider an external battery pack, attached to the strap.

Or, just wear them on your forehead, like you were going to any way!

To expand on this, you could always add (Using an external battery pack) just more LED's =)

VERY cool.
Now I know this was beside the point for you, but I've got an idea to make them see-through, might be a bit complicated, though.
Mount the LEDs inside the lens, in recesses you drill in them, so that the light diffuses through the lens like the LED-lighted [lit?] panels you see on computer case-mods.

You'd be able to see through them, and everything would be tinted the color of the LEDs (which is cool). Just an idea for those who want to be able to see through them.

So then you make it.

This is a sweet invention! Thanks especially for telling us where to buy the supplies, because I'm a total newbie at building electronic toys and would have no idea where to get LEDs without cannibalizing something more expensive. I'm gonna combine this tutorial with the one on turning welder's goggles into cybergoggles, and make a 100% custom pair. :)

wonder if you coupled that with one way mirror goggles and used it on an ironman helmet how it would work

[pindalanderz]

that's precisely what I was thinking.

actually I came up with another idea without the use of 4 LEDs (4 TOTAL LEDs)(for both halves of the goggles)and probably maximize the range of view... again this only a concept i though of. just place the leds off to the side and add a mirror or an object that reflects the light which well bounces off and to the other half of the lens and the battery may sit on the place were the strap attaches to the goggles themselves (sorry i was kinda in a rush to type this) this is truely amazing (even if you cant see through them) and again this is only a concept i came up with. so if you want go ahead and try the idea out. and thanks for the great Instructable!!! PS: if ya need more info about what i mean just reply i have the plans right infront of me :P
