thanks broo, but the foglights are not the problem, the problem its the headlights. :(

I know you talking about headlights, but I was just mentioning my solution to using lights on the front without drilling the lexan body

that being said, i did a rubicon body once on a HPI CrawlerKing and it was a pain in the butt trying to keep the wiring from causing issues and finding a creative way to keep it in placeI used 10mm LED lights with chrome bezel housings found on ebay, hot glued the wiring to the body, ran a servo plug connected to the lights to the extra spot on the RX....worked ok but really wasnt worth the effort to me.

Thanks, and i know sometimes we put so much time and effort to do something and then in the end doesnt come out the way we wanted.

Idk what to do with the headlights, maybe i can get big clear lenses and make a hole.

I need some help with that

i have seen some guys use axial light buckets shoe goo'ed to the lexan to fill where they cut out the headlights, then used the lenses on them, some used the grill guards too...
