Default New Kyosho lights kit

I was just checking AM's new items and I found this http://www.atomicmods.com/Products/K...em__14830.aspx , the new lights kit from Kysoho!!! Comes with 10 LED's! But the price was a little pricey ($107), wonder who will have the balls to try those out.

Looks like the one they had before with blinkers and exhaust LEDs.

I agree. $107 for something like that?
You'd have to be insane to pay that much.

the only benefit of those lights compared to a home made version would be the size, if you or I were to attempt it, well me for sure, idk about everyone else it would at least be 1x1x1/4 inches, that could take a lot of room...i think its an old set actually but am just got it now...

correct me if i'm wrong but it looks like the lights are programmed which would explain the pricing... cause if you look a the pics carefull you notice the following things:

Apparent ability to turn fog lights off/on
Looks like rear Turn Signals? (4 LEDs to the rear only 2 on as brake lights)
also in the pic with the exhause LEDs, the car is running forward, they could technically be on only when throttling (maybe even just for a short while when throttling, this coule resemble the flame you get on some exhausts after shifting)

Just speculation... even if i was right $107 doesn't seem to be right for added realism

i think you migth be right, it seems as though 2/4 inputs are power, and the other two are like signal inputs, which determine when lights turn on, but if that is the case, there may not be any turning signals just break lights and two extas that just flash

^ may the the older, 80$ kit, but still 80$. I'll kinda agree with Kaze here- kyosho did some crazy work on the control board for this set.

Everyone who thinks they can make their own, post a tutorial or stop trying to act cool. I for one don't have a slightest clue as to how you could make a LED kit so complex.

I'd rather another 2.4 MA than a set of lights that will suck my runtime :P
