KidTrax Dodge Charger Police Car w/Lighting Mod

DETAILS ARE BELOW BUT PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE MESSAGING ME **********LINK FOR THE LIGHTS IS UP TO DATE!***************Due to the amount of questions I have received about this, here is my advice.....Here is a link...


http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-3-LED-White-Car-Truck-Grille-Flash-Strobe-Light-A1...


Just request whatever colors you want. Legally he cant display the red and blue lights on ebay. The first set he sent me were all white after I requested 2red and 2blue and he quickly shipped me the correct ones so I was able to keep all 4 whites and the red/blues for the price of one set. It worked out in my favor.

!!!Steering wheel, dashboard, and headlight panel removal is required for this particular process!!!

The lights come with a CONTROL BOX which I hardwired to the wires using quick-clamp wire connectors (google them...any hardware store has them). Get a medium size as the cars wiring is quite thick. **RED GOES TO RED/BLACK GOES TO BLACK** I mounted the control box with velcro to the underside of the passenger dash and if you noticed while assembling the car there is a removable channel down the middle of the floor from the dashboard to the seat where existing wiring is run. If you remove the seats you expose a screw for the shifter handle. Remove screw and slide shifter handle out. I ran my wires through that channel all the way back to the battery area under the driver seat.

The front light wiring: I drilled out a hole big enough for the quik connectors into that little cupholder thing under the passenger dash and ran 2 of the remaining leads form the control box to the front area. I then drilled out 2 holes through the front bumper just big enough behind the pushbar, behind the small red and blue plastic lights
to accomodate the connectors for the pushbar lights.
I spliced wires together (with a wire strippers and electrical tape) so that one lead(pos and neg) from the control box was actually powering 2 lights...just remember to keep pos to pos and neg to neg.

The headlights were a challenge at first. I couldnt figure out how to fit a rectangle into the headlight housing. But after disassembling one of the strobes, its just a small circuit board which fit perfect between the chrome headlight piece and the clear lens so I drilled a small hole into each of the largest chrome headlight circle to run the stripped wires through and then just superglued the led circuit board to the chrome piece and again spliced wires together so that the lights alternated. For example I spliced the driver side headlight to the passenger side colored light so that they would flash alternately for a realistic effect.

If you have any more questions let me know. This thing looks badass in person and the lights are super bright! My boy loves it because he can change the flash pattern! DIAGRAM COMING SOON =/

[dragonwer4]

That cool that would be beast if it was a goat-cart

[EDsRedd]

@rixkidtrax if it's like the other power wheel vehicle's just unscrew that screw in the gear shift (forward/reverse shifter) it will still function properly but it will just be a lil loose. it made it so much faster that my daughter was burning rubber in her barbie jeep!  hope it works for u!
