Applications and installation
These LEDs are commonly used to equip the front headlights of slot cars, although they can also be used in other areas of the vehicle depending on the customization project. The 3 mm size allows them to fit directly into the designated housings of many resin or injection-moulded bodies, or in custom light pods.
For wiring, it is usual to solder them to the power supply of the chassis or to an auxiliary circuit, always respecting the LED polarity and incorporating an appropriate resistor to protect it and regulate the light intensity. If you lack experience in basic electronics, you will find numerous tutorials in the slot community that will guide you step by step.
