Default would you guys buy light kits from me?

I make my own light kits cause the rs ones are to expensive and are flimsy. I use LEDs that have thick wire and that can with stand 12 volts. i solder them all up and connect them to a 12v battery holder then heat shrink everything. i can do the standard 2 headlight and 2 taillight or i can do custom ones like 4 headlight and 3 taillight. I can't make alot now cause i am almost out of LEDs so i don't want to promise things then run out. i will order more if you guys think you would buy them. let me know cause i will get pics up. also how much would you guys be willing to pay for 2 headlight and 2 taillight sytem.

here they are.


That's getting powered from usb so not that bright.


Custom 6 leds(fogs,running,and highs) thats off 1 12v.


Thats what they are powered from 1 12v in a clip.


No bare wires will be shown all will be heat shrinked(also the kits will be 100x neater the reason wires are everywhere is cause i took every thing out to clean the body so.


All neat(they all have a 12v resistor on them so you can run them straight from a 12v or a 9v)


The LEDs i use


You will have the choice of either 9v batt snap or 12v clip (*prices may vary. not by alot though)


Custom kit on my brothers project car fogs,heads, and light bar(cheap car going to make it go fast as hell)


The lights on it on.


Just the Subarus .


All on.

Sorry for pics not being to good. The batt was dieing and i wanted to get pics of the lights and stuff. Somethings will be extra. ex. switch,battery clips, extra leds, etc

In order to use your light kits do I have to stash a 9v battery or a stack of button batteries under my car body to power them? Is there any way to run them off of the 6V from the car?

wait so its powered by a separate battery? where does this fit in the car? and where does the on/off switch go, like is there a way to install it under the car or somthing? or you just turn it on and leave it in there

running it off the 6v would drain yours batteries like you inhale air, it would die very fast

Okay maybe you did not see but that battery that was all black is pretty much half the size of a AAA battery. I dont think there is a body out there that cant fit it.

It fits on the inside roof. Double sided tape will be on the bottom of the battery holder so it can be put inside. Then you just have to remove the battery when your done.

That's what im trying to figure out i don't want to rip you guys off but I need to be able to order more LEDs and stuff..


Also the 9v snap is more so if its for like a big rc like 1/10 or something.

As for a price list i was thinking like.

EDIT: REMOVED UNTIL FINAL PRICE SET. PM ME FOR DETAILS

right now i only have white LEDs and i can at least make fog lights and headlights. Every kit will have all the leads connected and depending on what form of battery connection you get with them will be connected and covered with heat shrink.Also i can just solder all the leads up and ship as they are if you have your own connection system.

But let me know I don't want to rip you guys off

Really? It's just LED lights. They have pretty low drain.

If 2 white LEDs and 2 red LEDs are $10 and a extra one is $1. Should the white/red LEDs be $4 ? Or maybe $5 just to make everything easier to add.

I want to check race rules for endurance races that use simulated night section. I'm not sure its legal for the races or not to have an external battery supply. Your kits would be VERY popular for these types of races.
