it depends on how you are installing LED's using a kit, doing it from scratch, the voltage needed for the LEDs, and how many you are trying to power.

Looks like you have all Traxxas no? The Traxxas ESC has a standard JST style connector on it, in which you can hook up light kits for the Traxxas Summit, or just get 4 LED's with the JST connector. I had these on my Bandit VXL and they were bright. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXWWH3&P=7

I wanna run 2 blue headlights 3.2v 2 red tails which can be 3.2v or 1.2v but I think I will go with the 3.2 for brightness than 4 small purple 1.7v I believe for the eyes on side of son uva digger.
I want to go a little crazier on my slash.
the 3 year old is getting head lights all ready done


thanks to all for the help

Your best bet for ease of wiring, is to go to Towerhobbies.com, search led lights, and go to Traxxas brand. A lot of lights to choose rom.
