Overview
Transform your 1/18 scale Traxxas TRX-4M Ford Bronco into a fully equipped scale RC model with realistic lighting that responds to your driving inputs. The Traxxas TRX-4M Pro Scale Light Set (TRX9783) brings authentic scale functionality to your RC trail truck, adding working headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and hazard lights that elevate your RC experience to a new level. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast looking to create a scale replica or a casual basher who wants to add professional-looking features to your ready-to-run RC vehicle, this comprehensive LED lighting kit delivers exceptional realism with minimal installation effort. Perfect for RC car enthusiasts across the UK, this lighting solution works seamlessly with the ECM-2.5 electronic control module, making setup straightforward and hassle-free.
The Pro Scale Lighting Kit represents Traxxas's commitment to innovation in the RC hobby, delivering fully waterproof construction that handles all weather conditions. Unlike aftermarket lighting solutions that require complex wiring and additional programming modules, this kit integrates directly with your TRX-4M Bronco's existing electronics, eliminating the need for external controllers or complicated installation procedures. The single-wire connection to the ECM-2.5 means you'll have your lights operational within minutes, allowing you to focus on enjoying your RC model rather than wrestling with technical setup. This is ideal for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want premium scale features without the learning curve.
With five selectable lighting modes accessible via the EZ-Set button, you have complete control over how your lights operate. Cycle through realistic headlight modes, daytime running lights, brake and reverse light functionality, hazard lighting, or a demonstration mode that showcases all lighting capabilities. The point-to-point LED wiring bus design ensures clean installation inside your Bronco body, while the fully waterproof construction guarantees reliable performance whether you're running on wet terrain, through puddles, or in variable weather conditions typical across the UK.
Key Features

Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX-4M Pro Scale Light Set demonstrates exceptional engineering quality and attention to scale detail. Built with fully waterproof LED components, the system withstands the demanding conditions that RC enthusiasts encounter when running through muddy trails, water crossings, and variable UK weather. The point-to-point LED wiring architecture eliminates the traditional radial wiring approach, instead using a single continuous wire distribution system that minimises installation complexity whilst maximising reliability. The system operates seamlessly with the ECM-2.5 electronic control module found in the TRX-4M Bronco, with all necessary programming already embedded in the module's firmware. This integrated approach means you're not adding extra weight, complexity, or potential failure points to your RC vehicle. The five selectable lighting modes provide versatility, from practical daytime running light configurations to full demonstration sequences that showcase every lighting function. The LED technology delivers bright, true-colour illumination visible from distance, whilst consuming minimal power from your vehicle's battery system. Installation hardware is thoughtfully included—two 1.6x10mm self-tapping fasteners, two 1.6x7mm self-tapping fasteners, and two zip ties—everything required to securely mount and organise the lighting system within your Bronco body. The system's design philosophy prioritises ease of installation over complexity, making it accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels whilst maintaining professional quality and durability standards expected from Traxxas.
