The only time the Razor Crest has side lights was in Episode 4: The Sanctuary. You can see the lights there. However, I have to approach this with an open mind, with the assumption that there are OTHER lights besides the ones we saw. Din Djarin most probably switched on the ones he needed at the point in time.
THE WARM WHITE SPOT IN THE WINGS
Not all the lights were white. The spots from under the wings were yellowish, maybe warm-white, just like the ones in the cargo bay (But in Season 2, they were white). Which is not an issue but I need to confirm their position.
In this scene, we can see that the Razor Crest has external lights. The ‘big; warm white light is actually from the farmer’s transport. It is blocking the view of where the wing lights are shining from.
In this scene, you can see that the two farmers are right under the wing and the light is directly above them.
The next shot proved the spot light directly is under the wing, due to the circle of light on the ground. The metallic reflection of the ship is just that.
After looking at the model, the only logical conclusion for the wing light’s position would be the triangular panel as shown in the image. This detail is also there in the AMT Scale model.
Here is another shot to show you that panel more clearly.
A warm-white 3mm LED with clear lens would can be the solution. Do not use wide-angle LEDs as the clear lens gives you the hotspot which is essentially the closest effect as seen in the TV series. It is bright although I only have it 10mA. But with the microcontroller, the result is dimmer.
THE REAR WHITE LIGHT
For the white light at the rear, it has its own issues. It is quite a challenge to put a LED there and also, have the same light radiation. Let me explain what I am talking about.
Coming back to the same image, this is the position of the rear white light.
If I enlarge it and also make it brighter, you will immediately know that this light is not under the engines. OK, the triangular light radiation would also tell you that.
This image shows where the potential light came from. In theory, there are two, I suppose.
Using a SMD LED would not work since it does not have any lens and so, the light radiation would be more diffused without any focusing.
Well, OK, on this image, the two rectangle thingamajig looked like some kind of illuminators and there are what looks like glass (lens?) detail too.
This is the test of using a 2×5 White Top Hat LED. It is the 2mm lens at the LED which gives it the triangle shape.I have used a 2x3x4 rectangular LED but the light radiation pattern was too wide and not pronounced. It will not be accurate as you’d need to drill out a 2mm hole. It would be a little bigger since you will be re positioning the LED again and again until the pattern is as close as you can get.
Here is the light pattern and I had to dim the brightness of the Huawei to show you its light radiation pattern. It is very bright at 10mA but using the programmed microcontroller, it would be dim and so, I would need to correct that.
IN SUMMARY
The two LEDs needs to be ‘positioned’ either with some (non-metallic) putty or maybe even hot-melt glue (beware of melting plastic) so that you can get the lighted spots correct. Also, this could mean I would be fine-tuning on the programming and changing LED values to get the brightness I need for these LEDs.
