More info
The Traxxas X-Truck LED Light Kit adds powerful, waterproof illumination to your truck while giving you app-based control and expandability. The kit uses a regulated, high-voltage amplifier so the light bar stays bright and steady as battery voltage changes. It’s built for real-world use and includes both forward/reverse brake-light behavior for realistic signaling.
Key Features
- Compatible with Velineon VXL-8s ESC for direct integration with systems based on that platform.
- Functioning brake lights that activate in both forward and reverse for authentic vehicle signaling.
- Fully waterproof electronics so you can run in rain, mud, and puddles without worry.
- Three default lighting modes selectable from the power amplifier for quick, reliable operation.
- Low and high beam brightness settings let you match lighting to trail or night driving.
- Simplified, concealed, color-coded wiring makes installation cleaner and reduces setup time.
- Expandable system design allows adding extra lights and accessories as your rig grows.
- Firmware can be updated through the Traxxas app so you can add features and keep the kit current.
- App-controlled functions let you turn lights on/off remotely from your phone or tablet.
- Build a custom dashboard in the app to group switches and presets the way you prefer.
- Customize lighting configurations and actions for sequences, timers, and automated responses.
- Add additional lighting components via the amplifier to create a full lighting network on your truck.
What's Included
- High-output bumper-mounted LED light bar for bright forward illumination
- Multi-function rear LED light bar for tail and brake lighting
- High-voltage 8-channel power amplifier to drive intense LED lighting
- Regulated output circuitry to keep lighting stable as battery voltage varies
- Breakaway cable to reduce risk of damage when removing the body
- Light bar mounts and wiring connectors for a tidy installation
Note: Bumper light bar adapter kit 7693 is required for installation on X-Monster chassis.
Why Choose This Kit
This kit is ideal for hobbyists who want dependable, controllable lighting without complex wiring. It’s tough enough for trail and bash use, offers app customization for advanced setups, and gives you plug-and-play expansion when you want to add more lights.

Important Install Tips
Before installing the Rear LED, ask yourself: 1. Do I bash my truck so hard the body often comes off the chassis? 2. Am I good with a cordless drill and have 3-4M size drill bits? If yes, mount the rear LED UNDER the bumper, slightly recessed. I did it using thin metal plates with 3M adhesive, like the ones for magnetizing phones to mounts... super cheap on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CJ453V6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Chose this aluminum bc it's thick enough for abuse but flexible enough not to wreck other parts if hit hard. Used (2) small #6 flat head screws (after drilling holes in the bumper mount), attaching M3 bolts through the light bar mount to a locking nut (so it won't wiggle loose). Then I just used zip ties and electrical tape on the fragile wires that connect the light to the extension harness.

Essential for X-Maxx
This light kit is awesome, super bright, even on a sunny day you can see it no problem. The Bluetooth link app gives you sweet control over the lights, way more than most kits out there. The rear bumper could be improved though. It'd be better if Traxxas made it to fit the light bar like the front one does. Right now, it mounts on the rear cab "window" of the body, which sucks if you bash like you're supposed to. When the body flies off, that thin cable is gonna get yanked out and break. If you're patient and handy w/ a utility knife, you can fit the bar where it looks like it should go, but wasn't finished. I've been using the Traxxas TRX-4 light kit on my crawler, and even though it's not as bright, it's held up well through water, snow, and mud for a year. Also, if you're using the Traxxas Telemetry Expander module for GPS or volt/temp readings, mount the power amp on the steering turnbuckle below where Traxxas suggests. This way, the Expander gets a clear view of the sky.
