How Do You Install LED Lights on a RC Car?

Installing LED lights on a RC car is a great way to add a custom and personalized look to your ride. It can also provide you with more visibility in low-light conditions. Installing LED lights on a RC car is not difficult, and only requires a few basic tools and supplies.

Step 1: Gather the necessary parts. You will need LED lights, wire, heat shrink tubing, soldering iron, solder, and electrical tape. Make sure the voltage of the LED lights matches the voltage of your RC car battery.

Step 2: Wire the LEDs together. Start by cutting two pieces of wire to the desired length.

Strip off about 1/4 inch of insulation from each end of both wires using wire strippers or scissors. Place one end of one wire into one side of an LED light and the other end into another side of an LED light.

Step 3: Solder the wires together. Using a soldering iron, heat up the area where you connected the wires to one another until it melts and adheres together. Once cooled, cover with heat shrink tubing for extra protection.

Step 4: Connect the other end of each wire to your RC car’s battery terminals. Make sure that you connect the positive wire to positive terminal and negative wire to negative terminal.

Step 5: Secure all connections with electrical tape or hot glue for extra protection against moisture or vibration.

Conclusion:
Installing LED lights on a RC car is not difficult if you have basic knowledge about wiring and soldering. With just a few tools and supplies, you can easily add custom lighting to your ride that can improve visibility in low-light conditions while giving it an awesome look!
