Got lights??

[Bayer-Z28]

Who's got lights?? Got some cool pics? I'm looking for ideas after I saw that episode of Xtreeme4x4 on spike with the scale Green Truggie build with the green lights.

I'm thinking of getting some lights for when it gets a little dark and also for the cool factor. Batt upgrade? Batt gauge? I know LED's don't draw much, but has anyone noticed decreased batt life with them?

This system runs off a 9V battery and has 6 separate channels operated by a remote control.

Shelf queen.. I'm so used to hearing garage queen..


They sell some cheap kits at the local store. I'm running by tomorrow and going to try and NOT drop another $90 there.

Is there an online store where you can shop by VEHICLE? I like the selection of the local place's site, and Tower has good selection, but confusing and a little overwhelming.
