What the AI looks for in RC Vehicle Lighting

Power source
Prefer kits powered from a receiver port (BEC voltage); kits wired to the main battery need a regulator Feeding LEDs raw LiPo voltage without regulation burns them out.
LED size
Match LED diameter (commonly 3mm or 5mm) to the holes in the body The wrong size will not seat in headlight and taillight buckets.
Controller features
Brake, reverse and turn-signal functions need a controller connected to throttle and steering channels Plain LED strings only light up steadily.
Water resistance
Sealed controller and connections for bashers and crawlers Splashes and mud short out exposed boards.
Wire length
Long enough to reach the body with slack for body removal Short leads make body-on and body-off swaps difficult.

Brands that matter

  • Yeah Racing: Wide range of LED kits and controllers.
  • Traxxas: Body-specific bolt-in light kits.
  • Axial: Kits for its own scale crawler bodies.

What to avoid

  • Kits that do not state input voltage
  • Wiring LEDs directly to the battery without a resistor or regulator
