Tamiya came out with a multi function light kit if you didn't know already:

Tamiya also has a website just for the F350 but I don't know what it is. There are probably lots of people on it that would have lots of good info.

Do you know about Tamiyaclub forums? You could ask there what is the F350 website, or at least there may be more F350 owners on there.

i doubt he would pay $380 for the lights, if he can make it himself, which i pretty hard i think, what radio are you using to control all the channels?

thanks for the replies. right now i cant afford to buy any of those lighting units. the f350 suck everything in my wallet[]
i have actually succeded in putting head lights, bought 4 - 5mm leds attached to 220ohm & 270ohm resistors and i have headlights. next in line is the parking lights and possibly the backing lights.
now i dont know if this will work, but i figure that if i can attached the leds to the motor in reverse polarity, then maybe when i pull the reverse trigger, the led will light. now i dont know if this will damage the led when running forward.
as for the blinkers, i am still trying to figure it out.
i am using a dx6 with a br6000 receiver. no ugly antenna.

Why do you use the 220 and 270 ohm resistor's?I run led's in a bumper that i built on my e-maxx and i have no resistor's and all works fine.

resistors keep the voltage down since i use power from battery pack that runs the motor.
