Default Led lights on a redcat tornado epx pro

Hey everyone. Just looking for some insight on how to install led lights on my car. Any kits or otherwise that anyone has used? And how to connect to the electronics of the car? Thanks for any info!

Not sure where you could put lights on that car. Are you talking about sideskirt-type lights or a light bar?

I've seen pictures of my car with lights so I know it can be doneasily just not sure how. Like if there's a plug and play kit or if I have to mod lights onto the electronics. I'm just looking for night time visibility

I have seen some pre-wired LED sets. Or you can google how to do it yourself. You should be able to power the lights from an unused port on your receiver. Or use a separate 9V battery. Depends on how many LEDs you want to use. There are ways to hook these things up in series and parallel and using small resistors to balance the current flow. Google it.
