Sorry, no build images.
I can try to describe it but do not have any actual photos showing how I did this on any of the builds that I have done.
I drilled a hole in the engine. Wired a LED with resistor and ran the wire from the engine to the wing 'can'. Then a hole drilled through the wing to the hole where you can see the wire coming out. Once wire was run I glued the parts together.
My method is not exactly easy but it has worked for me on all the x-wing builds that I have built.
Please see attached image to sort of see what I am talking about.

Yup, that is my current build. I did get a little bit more done on it. Just so much going on that I don't get to do much modeling as of late. I hope the information I just posted helps a little.
With the V5, you only need to drill one hole - through the plate/wing as shown here:
Wires go through the central hole in the L bracket, up and through the hole drilled, and back into the engine (which is hollow/accepts lights with a quick drilling)
For a bottom mount, wires can meet at the bottom - tie all four together:
AZIZ! LIGHT!

weeeeeeeee, I got my Red 2/ Blue 1 today. On valentine's day, and since I paid for it over 3 months ago, it really feels like a present.
Anyway, it's beautiful, my first studio scale xwing (already got a ywing), it's huge, when you're used to the smaller models. I'm not going to start right away because I already have a bwing started, which does not progress very fast
