   * You can also use the brake lights as "Running lights" which is simply the light on at some level less than full brightness. You can specify what this brightness level should be in [[wiki:opconfig:tabs:lightsio#brake_and_running_lights|OP Config]]. You can then choose to have the running lights always on, or you can assign a trigger to one of the [[wiki:tcb:operation:functionlist#running_lights|Running Light Functions]] (on, off, or toggle). Either way, the brake light (full brightness) will always over-ride the running light (partial brightness), but only when braking occurs.    * You can also use the brake lights as "Running lights" which is simply the light on at some level less than full brightness.

-We highly recommend the **Yeah Racing** brand LED Light Sets (LK-0008 and LK-0009 series). They are inexpensive, widely available, plug directly into the TCB, and best of all **already come with the correct current limiting resistor installed**. They come as a string of two LEDs and they have red, orange, yellow, blue, green, and white in both 5mm and 3mm LED sizes. [[http://www.rcmart.com/body-light-font-colorredblight-rcbfont-c-438_900.html|Click here to see these lights for sale at RCMart]]. +We highly recommend the **Yeah Racing** brand LED Light Sets (LK-0008 and LK-0009 series).

 Tamiya sells a wide range of LEDs as hop-up parts for its RC cars that will plug directly into the TCB, **but** they do not come with current limiting resistors and **will** burn out if you don't add them to the wiring yourself. They also cost substantially more than the Yeah Racing brand.  Tamiya sells a wide range of LEDs as hop-up parts for its RC cars that will plug directly into the TCB, **but** they do not come with current limiting resistors and **will** burn out if you don't add them to the wiring yourself.
