Default Need help wiring lights!

Hey guys Im looking for some help. Im looking to wire up some lights on my yeti. Currently I have my 3rd channel hooked up to my 2spd trans servo and I don't want to buy a whole new 4 channel remote. Im hoping I can tap into say maybe my esc wires or something. It will be run on 2s and my light kit comes with a on/off button, I understand that if I were to go 3s I would need a BEC which is a whole other topic i need to learn about. Thanks in advance!

Nothing to it. Find the power source, tap into it. Tape down the wires to the shell or lash them to the chassis so they don't get destroyed. Hot glue or CA glue will hold single LEDs in place.

So is it really as easy as say tapping into my ESC wires from the battery?

You can plug them in to the bind port.

I ran mine off the wires from the battery in the same place I am running my BEC leads off. I then ran the wires to a on/off switch so that the lights are on when I want them on. Like others have said I made sure the wires were secure to the cage so they wouldn't get beat up.
