Installing Your Lights
We'll split this install into two main parts: Body-Mounted Lights and Chassis-Mounted Lights. The cabling for this Light Kit comes with handy Quick Disconnects that let you quickly disconnect your Vehicle Body from the Chassis so you can work on each separately and still easily put everything back together.
Body-Mounted Lights
Front Lights
Using a pointy tipped tool, carefully mark the center of the first Headlight Hole.

Using a body reamer, ream the first Headlight Hole. The Headlight Holes should be just large enough for the Attack Headlight LED to shine through the Vehicle Body.

Using a body reamer, clean up the inside of the Headlight Hole. Take care not to enlarge the hole too much.

Using a hobby knife, clean up the Headlight Hole.

Top Tip: Use strips of painters tape as alignment guides so all three holes line up on each side.

Ream the Second Headlight Hole.

Clean the inside of the Second Headlight Hole.

Ream Running Light Hole.

Clean up Running Light Hole.

This is how the Front Holes should look from the outside...

and from the inside.

Place the Yellow Running Lights inside your Vehicle Body like so.

Glue your Attack Headlights and Front Running Lights inside your Vehicle Body as shown here.

This is how the Front Lights look from the outside.

Rear Lights
Ream Tail Light Hole.

Clean up Tail Light Hole.

Place the Red Tail Lights inside your Vehicle Body like so.

Secure the LEDs with a dab of glue.

This is how the Tail Lights look from the outside.

Here's a look inside with all the Body-Mounted Lights installed. You can use the included Zip Tie Mounts to gather your cables for a clean install. Use the included double-stick tape to adhere the HB-2 Lighting Controller to the inner side wall of the cab. Plug the Yellow Running Lights and Red Tail Lights into HB-2 Ports A and B.

Plug the two pairs of Attack Headlights into one of the 2-Way LED Splitters and then plug that Splitter into HB-2 Port D. Take the other 2-Way LED Splitter and Quick Disconnect it into two parts - a "trunk" and a two-legged "Y". Plug the "trunk" of this Splitter into HB-2 Port E or F - we'll be using this to power the "Y" connected to the two pairs of Rock Lights mounted to the Chassis below. Lastly, depending on your Battery, connect either the 2S or 3S Balance Port Power Cable to the HB-2's Power Input Cable.

Chassis-Mounted Lights
With the Body-Mounted Lights done, we now turn our attention to the Chassis. First, we'll need to remove two items to make room to work.
Remove two screws and take out the Front Body Mounting Bracket.

Remove two screws at the front of the Servo...

and remove one screw at the rear of the Servo.

Remove the Servo Horn Screw and now you should be able to take out the Servo.

Using a Zip Tie, connect the Front Left Rock Light to Front Left Chassis Rail. Make sure that the "bump" on the Zip Tie is on the outboard side of the Rail - otherwise it will interfere when you put back the Servo.

Using a Zip Tie, connect the Front Right Rock Light to Front Right Chassis Rail.

Using two more Zip Ties, connect the Rear Rock Lights to the Rear Chassis Rails.

Use Zip Ties to route the Front and Rear Rock Light Cables cleanly along the Chassis, and then connect each to the two-legged "Y" part of the 2-Way Splitter that we had Quick Disconnected earlier (at the end of the Body-Mounted Lights section). (Yes, I know this picture still shows the Splitter not yet Quick Disconnected. Oops.)

At this point, we're ready to Quick Connect the Chassis back to the Body and see how this Mo-Fo looks lighted!
