2- colored leds
2 - 135 ohm resistors (one for headlights one for tail lights)
1 - 3 volt lithim
1- switch

Here, check out my website and follow the LED installation tutorial. I know it's for Mini-Z, but connection should be similar to ZZ

doesnt all this weight slow your car down considerably?

A little bit. But i also increases the weight on the car so it can steer better.

hmm i got mine tuned pretty nicely. my rear tires peel out in turns just enough to do 180 turns and stuff but not so much that i always lose control.
