I did not like the placement of the taillight. I ended up removing the rear bumper cover and using a dremel to elongate the recessed part of the bumper. If you look at the bumper lines you simple make that notch just barely longer than the light. I then used a heat gun to warm the bumper up a little so I could flex it that 1/8" that I needed to slide the light in there in between the layers. The light sits nice and tight and is just barely beneath the surface of the bumper. There is no modification to the light itself; in fact, the screw tabs on the rear light are what binds it in place once the bumper cools back to its original shape.

Hi Sam, nice video, I used it to fit my new kit as the Traxxas instructions are not as good as they could be. BUT I have had a problem on fitting it. I have bought the Traxxas LED Light Kit X-Maxx TRX7885 and on fitting the rear light one of the very small connectors that has 3 very small cables got caught and two of the cables broke right where they connected to little white connector. I have contacted Traxxas and they say they are not repairable and I have to buy a complete unit (8773) so my question is has anyone else had this issue where the connectors are very small and can't be soldered or put the two disconnected cables back into the connector - does anyone know if anyone say on Amazon sell them - my problem is I am in Spain so buying from a US based company is not possible and am sure this will happen again over time. Many thanks in anticipation of possible help.

I do have a simple solution. Those are JST-SH 1.0mm 3 pin female connectors. Here's an Ebay link for them with a short cable... www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-JST-SH-1-0mm-3-Pin-Female-Connector-Cable-Header-on-BeagleBone-Blue-x-10-/171351041620?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Cut the wire back, and solder them on away from the connector! Or, easier yet, there's two of them connectors on the wiring harness of the light kit that are not being used. Cut them off and replace the broken ones! For soldering small wires like that you need a soldering station with a small tip. Not terribly hard, very doable. And some small heat shrink tubing. Cheers and good luck with it!
