This is a vehicle-building prefab, not a purchasable standalone mod. The model is based on Strands articles 850963/850964.
Specifications
- Diameter: 140 mm
- Housing height: 37 mm
- Overall pole version: 112 mm
- Surface fastener centres: 50 mm
- Published dimensions control the envelope. Small parts and optical details are reconstructed from photographs, not manufacturer CAD.
Installation
1. Extract the prefab. Copy the complete firefly140 folder into your vehicle mod, directly beside modDesc.xml. Keep firefly140.i3d, firefly140.i3d.shapes, firefly140.xml and the textures together.
2. Open the vehicle I3D in GIANTS Editor. Import firefly140/mount.i3d and parent its empty fireflyMount group to the correct vehicle component. Rename each mount uniquely, for example nlmFireflyLeft and nlmFireflyRight.
3. Place each mount at the attachment contact point. Use scale 1 1 1; local +Y is up. SURFACE puts the housing base at the mount. POLE automatically lifts the housing 75 mm so the DIN socket bottom sits at the mount. Do not add the same 75 mm a second time.
4. For placement preview only, import firefly140.i3d below the empty mount. The group poleMount contains the complete detachable DIN fitting, including clamp, wings and button. Hide it for a surface preview and show surfaceMount. For a pole preview, offset the preview lamp by +0.075 m on Y. Remove the entire preview lamp before saving the vehicle: native XML loads the actual model. Keep the empty mount.
