I buy Pre wired 3mm LEDs from eBay and power them off the reciver... You can get a 50 count for around $10-15 ......


Just a suggestion

RC Lights has some sets that could work. Their #5014 features head lights, turn signals, and brake lights.

Sorry for the late post, but I just saw this I have a question for Dabears. Does the kit you linked come with Amber lights for the visor/ roof? I watched the video, but couldn't see them. Thanks.

If you use the GT Power set, can you add the cab lights? Any tips on what you would need to do that?

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks bigford, I ordered a GT Power 4 channel pro LED set, and have an old Tamiya Tractor Truck Electrical Control Unit that I plan on scavaging lights from to get my desired effect.

I saw a video on YouTube showing one on a King Hauler, and knew that's what I wanted, now if it'd just get here already.

I ordered a kit from a guy yesterday here in the states that custom built it for me with the correct number of LEDs (including all 5 roof lights) for a stock King Hauler light setup. Was $51 shipped. I should recieve it late next week and will try to give a quick review on it.

Have you seen the video on YouTube? Personally, I don't like the sound.
