Operating Instructions
The Traxxas LED light kit operates in conjunction with your TRX-4's power system. Once installed and powered on, the lights will illuminate. This kit features high and low headlight functions, which can be controlled by a green jumper. For high beam, ensure the green jumper is installed. For low beam, remove the green jumper.
The entire light system is designed to be waterproof, allowing for operation in wet conditions without damage to the lighting components. This enhances the realism and versatility of your TRX-4 Chevrolet K5 Blazer.
