Default Led lighting help

I知 going cross eyed searching. I知 building a power wagon body. I got the powershift lights for the power wagon. I would also like to add a light bar. I知 running the mamba x esc and a 3s battery, a Sanws mt4 radio and 4ch rx. The powershift lights say they recommends 12v power. How can I go about wiring this up? Light controller? Anything that would work with this to also control brake lights, reverse lights? Any help would be great.

I think I can help.
This will let you turn all of your 12 volt lights on and off using a two (or three) position channel:
RC Lighting Control Using External Power
It can take its power from a 3S pack. Ideally, your rig's motor already uses a 3S pack for power and it just gets shared, but if you have to, you can use a dedicated battery instead.

This part will operate brake and reverse lights:
Brake, Reverse and Driving Light controller $30
Let me know if the lights you are going to run are 12 volt and I can make it operate those instead of receiver voltage powered lights instead.

This part does what the two previous parts do, plus a little more:
THE Lighting Controller

Please send me a PM if I can be of further help!

But it wouldn’t control the brake lights or reverse lights and driving lights correct?

Yes, it does. Just like in the description of the part. It tells about operating all those things, right?
