5 hours of fun starts here!! A mess of led lights, wires, resistors, led holders, switches , batteries, deans plugs, and shrink wrap! what did we get ourselves into??



empty body shell..no lights yet!!





mounts for front rock lights!



mounts for rear rock lights!



soldering the the resistors to the wires to the led's



pigtails started!



one complete led all pigtailed up!! only 7 more to go!!



Front rock lights installed



Rear rock lights installed!!



All the rock lights pig tailled together and run under the battery to the rear.



lights installed in the body.





Holy spaghetti mess!!



Me playing fisherman!! with miltons help!!







All the body lights pigtailled together and deans plug soldered on! getting close!!



power lead from winch esc to power all the lights



rock lights and power cords all soldered up!!



Connect the body to the chassis!



TIME FOR THE TEST!!

Nice job...I like it.

I went the easy way...if you want to call it that. I just installed the rock lights today...still waiting on the rear set up...

Working to have an indoor Midnight run...

No lights at all...just the rigs...

We could have headlight drags also...

Cool deal.. Glad to see ya got them up and going.. What size clamps did you use for the rock lights? Didn't think of using those.. adjustable and all they nice and tight or want to move at all?

1/4" clamps, no they are tight!! can move them but it takes a lot to do!

Re: light up night!!

Cool, thanks CJ...That will make rock lights a bit easier to do. I had made metal tabs, brazed into place, and then installed the LED's last time..Made for a bit more work

Also if anyone cares, I use this site to help calculate the resistor i need and wiring diagram on multiple lights

http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

just put in the info, click wiring diagram and your good to go

Re: light up night!!

man we could have used that when we were doing this job!! we basically guessed on the resistors! luckily for me, they worked!! lol
