my experiments have also used super caps. cheap source for them, the crash racer cars 2.2 volts, charges instantly. a charge on a cap w/red/blue flash ran about 4 hrs both flash, and at 8-9 hrs the red was flashing, but barely visible. used 1 led, 5 f cap out of a crash track car fiber optics to the light spots in the body. and controll the light leakage you can heat and reshape the ends of plastic fiber, hot glue is a bad choice, melts the coating on the fiber never tried any glues, but careful of the coating
settled on my old reliable metal tape which does well to hold it down copper tape (stained glass stuff) conducts, so you can make a circuit board in the glass no need for wires, tape and the leads also use metal tape to block/control stray light
no working prototypes currently, because I am building my 1:1 custom car, but I have converted some of the 72 dart's lights to leds, and planning an interesting interior &dashboard that is all led lit, and super caps for delaying them going off
