Default Adding a 3rd set of LED's w/ custom light bar

Hey guys i'v been messing around with a light bar for the wraith and it includes 5 buckets, so therefore it has 5 LED's

My question is can i wire the white LED's from my light bar into the white LED's from the front headlights on the wraith ?

here is a quick sketch up i did in MS Paint.



I even tried picking up a simulator LED kit for $12 off ebay, i hooked every thing up and the lights started to flash because the control box is for a heli or plane so the Beacon, Strobe, and Navigation lights would flash


Here's a little preview of what i got going on, as you can see i'm missing a few buckets. 1 more for the light bar and 2 more for the head lights.



Thanks
- Brandon

I dont know how axial does the lighting but theoretically it should work fine. Can you tell if the LED's (stock ones) have resistors? Im not sure if they are limiting in the lighting controller or on each LED string.

From what i can see there are no resistors on the LED strands them selves.



On the other hand the controller might contain the resistors.
