I keep looking for someone to have done it and show how. A multi meter and a bunch of testing for sure, I'm getting bored of my x maxx due to keeping the stock power system, mostly the stupidity of the lights being plugged to the esc, headlights easy, but the brake and back up light? Who needs lights anyways, what rip off! The trx-4 lights work of the receiver and nothing needed to be done for mine to work when I put a fusion brushless in it, even the wires that plugged to the motor wires did nothing.
They were pre installed and I rarely use them. Not the most useful but I’d still like the availability for winter when it gets dark quick.I keep looking for someone to have done it and show how.

Over thinking is my job.Keep it simple and just rewire all the lights to a universal type RC Lighting controller. Switched at the radio with an open spare channel on the Rx.
Don't overthink this too much.
Well...I'm smart enough after all!
No need for anything other than a spare servo plug into the receiver and some cut and soldering.
Just cut the wires and plug um up to go in a free channel of the receiver, 2 black wires to ground, then 2 red and 2 green to power, and viola, headlights and tail lights, no brake or reverse, but still high, low and off pressing the amplifier button. Now...let's say there is a remarkable increase in performance with the max 6! My stock vxl 8 had a terrible delay before full power (several feet) and seemed way to easy to hold wot, at least it never caught on fire! This max 6 fits right in the stock location and won't tear the truck apart, hopefully.
