today im going to show you how im making my search lights

i start with a basic r/r light kit from china, it was about 11.00 usd

whats nice about its 1/10 scale and it plugs right into your receiver or a 4.8 battery pack

next i cut each light bucket from the main light bar, keeping the main bar as a part of the light bucket. next i cut a hollow round plastic tube for the neck, next i drilled a small hole in the tip of the tube and the light bucket , this will let the light buckets tilt

next i ran small wiring through the rod and attached the light buckets with 2 micro screws
