Default LEDs and light buckets

I searched and found some good information on lights, including site vendors. What do you all like for the buckets? Which ones have good, clean mounting options?
I am thinking of installing some on several RCs. I saw the Losi Night Crawler set and the buckets and mounts look good. LOSB9996

Comments and suggestions appreciated!

axial light buckets work pretty good, several different styles also.

Yes, I had already seen your excellent write up there, thanks. Really good information, the basics as well as the details.

I have a Proline HID light rack on the bronco - the buckets look really good , have a clear lens and silver inside with a nice scale looking bolt on rear cover/ballast and fit 5mm leds .

Axial light kits are some of the better ones out there. Of course there are cheeper ones but you get what you pay for.

I just ordered that Losi NC set, I am putting it on my AX10. I will let you know how it goes. I wanted rock lights that I can run off my ch 3. After tons of looking and research, I picked the Losi set.

Go with Heyok's tutorial. You can get the stuff to do 50 led's for less then the cheapest light controller. Then you have the satisfaction of saying you did it yourself!!!!

Ok so I get confused with the pictures for ax80045, do I get 2 of each light? it says "7 styles" which leads me to believe I only get 1 of each bucket, meaning I'd have to order 2 to get a 'pair' of the same 'style'.
