How Do I Put Lights in My RC Car?

Whether you’re a beginner RC car enthusiast or an experienced one, putting lights in your RC car can be a rewarding experience. Not only does it look cool, but it also allows you to see where you’re going in the dark. Here’s what you need to know to get started.

Choose Your Lights

The first step is to decide what kind of lights you want for your RC car. LED lights are the most popular choice because they are bright and energy-efficient.

You can choose from a variety of colors and sizes to customize your look. Make sure that the lights you choose are compatible with your RC car.

Install The Lights

Once you’ve chosen the lights, it’s time to install them. Start by removing the body of the car and any other parts that might be obstructing access to the interior. Then, locate where you want to place the lights – typically on either side of the body or near the front bumper – and drill small holes for them.

Connect The Wiring

Next, connect the wiring from your lights to a power source such as a battery or power supply. Depending on how many lights you have, this may require soldering or using a connector kit. To ensure safety, it’s important that all connections are secure and watertight.

Test It Out

Once all of your wiring is connected and secured, it’s time to test out your work. Make sure all connections are secure and turn on the power source. If everything is working correctly, your RC car should now be illuminated with its new set of lights!

Conclusion

Putting lights in an RC car is an easy way to take your model vehicle up a notch. With just a few simple steps, you can have bright LED lights installed in no time at all!
