I did some work on htamas very nice Big Brave (Maresa 1974) B2S from 2013.
 
In the process I replaced some lights with snippets.
Also I have made the b2s a little brighter and more colorful.
In reality it will probably look different but with JP's table it looks quite passens on my notebook.

What are snippets?

What are snippets?

The definition of a snippet is a small piece of something.

In this case it is a small piece of the backglass pic cut out from original pic.

Instead of a light brightening portion of pic, the snippet is pic that already is lit up. So you are just calling a pic that is already lit.

This method works well when you are trying to keep lit portion of pic, inside of a boundary.

For instance, say you wanted to light up a word on backglass. Maybe it is a huge word and goes across the whole top of backglass.

Well instead of making several lights to light that word up, you can use 1 snippet and the whole word is lit up.
