Overview
Transform your 1/18 scale TRX-4M Chevrolet K10 or Ford F-150 into a fully illuminated scale model with the Traxxas Pro Scale LED Light Set (TRX9883). This professional-grade lighting kit brings your RC truck to life with authentic, working headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and hazard lights that respond precisely to your driving inputs. Whether you're a dedicated RC enthusiast in the UK looking to enhance your scale crawler's realism or a seasoned basher who wants to add an extra layer of fun and good looks to their truck, this lighting system delivers genuine scale authenticity that sets your model apart from the competition.
The Pro Scale LED lighting system is engineered specifically for Traxxas 1/18 scale models, offering the control and sophistication of a full-scale vehicle's lighting system in miniature form. With fully waterproof construction, these lights are built to handle all weather conditions, making them suitable for outdoor trails, indoor courses, and everything in between. The kit is designed to work seamlessly with your TRX-4M's existing electronics, providing quick and straightforward installation that requires minimal technical knowledge or modification to your RC truck.
RC car enthusiasts across the UK have embraced Pro Scale lighting as a way to elevate their hobby experience. Unlike basic LED kits that simply stay on, the Pro Scale system integrates with your TRX-4M's ECM-2.5 electronic control module, creating a realistic driving experience where every lighting function responds naturally to your throttle, steering, and brake inputs. This is genuine scale realism for discerning RC hobbyists who demand authenticity and quality from their accessories.

- Turn Signal Function with Automatic Cancellation — Signal your intended direction with working turn signals that automatically cancel when you complete your turn or straighten the wheels, providing authentic scale vehicle behaviour that impresses observers and adds realism to your driving.
- Fully Functional Brake Lights — The brake lights illuminate automatically when you apply the brakes or slow down, creating a responsive and realistic lighting effect that demonstrates your truck's precise control capabilities.
- Automatic Reverse Light Activation — When you shift into reverse, the backup lights glow automatically, enhancing visibility and authenticity during backing manoeuvres on trails and courses.

The waterproof construction ensures durability across all UK weather conditions, from damp British trails to muddy terrain, with sealed components that protect against water ingress whilst maintaining full brightness and reliability. The included light harness connects seamlessly to your vehicle's electronics with just a single connection point, and the mounting hardware allows for secure installation in the #9811 body without modification.
