Yes, Yes. I did not have ANY intention of deterring you from working on your own project. I was in a hurry and my thoughts into typing did not convey my intentions properly.
A working version with lights was indeed built and I think a run of them did go through the junkyard. The above link should fill you in all the details. I did some work on the inner part of the seal. Not sure If my work was what made it to the final project, but it does look pretty similar. I posted it here a long time ago. Let me know if you can't find it elsewhere and Ill try to dig up my old photoshop file.
