Default RE: Headlights/LED's

Sweet Stew, that piccoswitch is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks.

You are right about the LED's not working like a halogen. It's because the lensing built into LEDs precludes the use of focusing mirrors to contentrate and direct the beam. You can get 360 degree LEDs and then use focusing mirrors, but the diffusion typically keeps them from being comparable to halogens or typical incandecents. Directed driving lights wouldn't be a whole lot of help on an RC anyway, unless of course you are small enough to sint on the model while driving it, but as your pics show they are definately cool as all hell.

Nice models and great lighting jobs BTW.
