Permanent light kit 4 front + 2 rear with brake effect

Bring your slot car to life with permanent lighting and real brake effect

The DS-0127 lighting kit from DS is one of those accessories that makes a difference between a slot car that runs and one that truly impresses. With 4 front lights and 2 rear lights, this kit adds functional and permanent lighting to any car, also incorporating a brake effect in the rear lights that activates automatically when the trigger is released.

For enthusiasts who enjoy both aesthetics and competition, seeing the rear lights intensify during braking is a detail that elevates the level of immersion in every track session.

Main features

• 4 front lights with permanent illumination.
• 2 rear lights with integrated brake effect.
• Compatible with any slot car.
• Permanent operation: the lights are on throughout the race.
• The brake effect activates automatically when reducing power (when releasing the trigger).
• Reference: DS-0127.

Function and performance

The permanent lighting system means that the front and rear lights remain on at all times while the car is on track, without the need for any additional switch. The logic of the brake effect in the rear lights is particularly valued: when the car decelerates, the rear lights intensify, mimicking the behaviour of a real vehicle during braking.

This type of detail not only enhances the visual aspect during night sessions or on tracks with careful ambient lighting but also adds a touch of spectacle to any club circuit.

Compatibility and installation

The kit is designed to be compatible with any slot car, making it a versatile option whether your garage consists of universal track models (Scalextric, Ninco) or Sport track models (Scaleauto, Slot.it). The installation process requires basic slot electronics knowledge: connecting to the car's power supply and placing the LEDs in the corresponding body slots.

We recommend checking the available space in the body before installation, especially in models with very little interior clearance, to ensure a clean finish without interference with the chassis.

Ideal for…

• Enthusiasts who want to add visual realism to their slot cars.
• Collectors who display their illuminated models.
• Club racers looking for that distinguishing detail in their competition cars.
• Track sessions with reduced ambient lighting or night settings.

Considerations

The installation involves basic electronics work on the car. If you have no prior experience with soldering or connecting LEDs in slot, we recommend seeking help from a preparer or following a tutorial before proceeding. A good finish in the installation makes the difference between a professional result and one that may fail after a few sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Is this kit compatible with any scale of slot?

The manufacturer indicates compatibility with any slot car, although it is always advisable to check the available space in the body of your specific model before installation.

Are the lights only on when the car accelerates?

No. This is permanent lighting: the front and rear lights remain on while the car is powered. The brake effect in the rear lights activates when the power is reduced, that is, when the trigger is released.

Do I need to solder to install this kit?

In most cases, yes. The installation requires connecting the kit to the car's electrical circuit, which usually involves soldering points. Basic experience in slot electronics is recommended.

Does it work with resistance controllers and electronic controllers?

The brake effect works by detecting the reduction in power, so it is compatible with most common slot controller systems. For specific questions about your controller, please consult us before purchasing.

Can I install this kit on a car that already has a painted and detailed body?

Yes, although special care must be taken during installation to avoid damaging the body finish. Plan the routing of the wires before starting and work with fine tools.

The DS-0127 permanent lighting kit brings authentic racing atmosphere to any slot car, featuring 4 front LEDs and 2 rear lights with a genuine brake effect. Compatible with all slot car systems including Scalextric, Ninco, Scaleauto and Slot.it tracks, this kit is perfect for slot car enthusiasts, club racers and collectors looking to add a realistic lighting detail to their models. Easy to integrate into any 1/32 or compatible slot car, the brake light simulation activates automatically when the throttle is released, delivering an immersive and visually striking effect on any layout.
