I hate body mounted LED lights. Does anyone have lights that mount on the frame or bumper?

The LED lights that mount on the body are such a hassle with all the wires going everywhere and the roof mount lights don't last long when bashing around. Does anyone have any resources for LED lights that mount directly on the frame or the bumper so the wires can be tucked in a tie wrapped nice and neatly and so the power can come from the receiver, instead of a separate battery?

If your ok at soldering and have a drill then you could drill holes in the bumper like I have done for my Torment and then fit either 3mm or 5mm LED's in. Once I did that I wired the LED's in series and then I added a 150 ohm resistor (for a 5mm led) in line with the positive finally I soldered on a receiver plug on. You can then plug it into a port in your receiver and it works great. You can see them on my torment in the photos attached.

Nice!!! That is a great idea, my son will love that, and I can let him do most of the work. Maybe even teach him how to solder. Excellent idea.
Thanks for sharing @TSElectronics .

Traxxas also has a light kit that mounts to the bumper

Can you post a pic with the lights off, showing where you drilled better.

There was already a small hole in my ecx torment bumper so all I did was drill it larger and then add the LEDs. See photos
