I doubt you burned up your LED.s. Unless you saw them light up and then fade to black, you probably just have the polarity wrong.

Hi Eli12

They are 6mm dia. for most all the leds on HL tanks.
I made some mods to my T26E3 Pershing puting the hull machine gun into the gun barrel. how I did this was I used a multiple pack of
6mm and 3mm leds- red, green, yellow and white. They wern't. much. Pack # 2761622 $2.99 they are pretty bright and you can trim them flat
with a flush cut nippers, just dont cut the metal wires inside or they won't. work, use a little Tamiya clear colors on the cut ends, brings the gloss
back.

Do you think 5mm will fit the brake lights?

The Motor slot would have zero voltage running through it unless you tried operating the tank.
