    Default R/C Truck lights

    OK, so im into the r/c stuff, and am getting a hpi savage for christmas. I really want some LED lights for headlights and taillights. Now I happen to be a cheapa$$ and don't want to spend the 70-124 bucks on a kit that looks like I can make for 10 bucks. My question to ya'll is, how do I do it. I know how to connect the wire to the LEDS, but don't know how to find or come up with a way to run them, and it would be nice to have a on/off switch, all of this being lightweight too. Here is a picture of a kit that I found. Any help or ideas would be fantastic.

    Finally figured it out. I knew it was easy, but just had a brain fart. I'll have to figure out how upload the diagram I drew. Im getting the Hpi Savage monster truck. I would get a car, but am afraid of wrecking it and braking it. So I plan soup up the truck to get it faster. Pics and videos soon to be.

    Glad you figured it out.

    I used to be into the electric R/C cars. I thought about getting a nitro R/C truck but damn they can get expensive.
