Tamiya Kv-1 lights
Hey guys I have the kv-1 mfu in my t-55 and I saw yesterday that I supports a front and rear light. My question is can I hook up more than one led to each circuit and are the lights controllable, ie on and off?

Hate to bring bad news but adding extra bulbs to Tamiya light systems is "Verboten". If you add a bulb they all sut down. The Tamiya circuit is voltage draw sensitive. The M4 gives you two front headlights and two rear light. That is you best bet. Karen at the AAF Tank Museum should have them in stock.

Well.....don't "push the boat out" too far. I have tried it already...unsucessfully.
As for the connectors they are Molex. Here is a link: http://www.molex.com/molex/products/...annel=products

I've hooked up lights on my T-55 using an old tamiya light strand that was no good. Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwks2Cwg3oo
