Overview
Transform your 1/18 scale Traxxas TRX-4M Ford Bronco into a fully equipped scale RC model with realistic lighting that responds to your driving inputs. The Traxxas TRX-4M Pro Scale Light Set (TRX9783) brings authentic scale functionality to your RC trail truck, adding working headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and hazard lights that elevate your RC experience to a new level. Whether you're a serious RC enthusiast looking to create a scale replica or a casual basher who wants to add professional-looking features to your ready-to-run RC vehicle, this comprehensive LED lighting kit delivers exceptional realism with minimal installation effort. Perfect for RC car enthusiasts across the UK, this lighting solution works seamlessly with the ECM-2.5 electronic control module, making setup straightforward and hassle-free.
The Pro Scale Lighting Kit represents Traxxas's commitment to innovation in the RC hobby, delivering fully waterproof construction that handles all weather conditions. Unlike aftermarket lighting solutions that require complex wiring and additional programming modules, this kit integrates directly with your TRX-4M Bronco's existing electronics, eliminating the need for external controllers or complicated installation procedures. The single-wire connection to the ECM-2.5 means you'll have your lights operational within minutes, allowing you to focus on enjoying your RC model rather than wrestling with technical setup. This is ideal for RC enthusiasts in the UK who want premium scale features without the learning curve.
With five selectable lighting modes accessible via the EZ-Set button, you have complete control over how your lights operate. Cycle through realistic headlight modes, daytime running lights, brake and reverse light functionality, hazard lighting, or a demonstration mode that showcases all lighting capabilities. The point-to-point LED wiring bus design ensures clean installation inside your Bronco body, while the fully waterproof construction guarantees reliable performance whether you're running on wet terrain, through puddles, or in variable weather conditions typical across the UK.
Key Features
- Fully Waterproof Construction — All lighting components are sealed against moisture and weather, ensuring your LED lights continue functioning reliably through wet conditions, rain, and challenging terrain without corrosion or electrical failure.
- Five Selectable Lighting Modes — Control your lighting experience with five distinct modes selectable using the intuitive EZ-Set button: full headlights with marker lights, daytime running lights only, lights off (brake and reverse only), hazard lights, and a demonstration mode that cycles through all lighting functions for impressive visual displays.
- Single Wiring Harness Connection — The revolutionary design requires only one wire connection to your ECM-2.5 electronic control module, eliminating complex multi-wire setups and making installation quick enough for anyone, regardless of technical experience.
- Working Headlights and Marker Lights — Realistic front lighting replicates actual vehicle illumination, with dedicated marker and daytime running lights that add authentic scale detail to your TRX-4M Bronco.
- Functional Brake and Reverse Lights — Advanced integration with the ECM-2.5 allows your tail lights to respond intelligently to your driving inputs, illuminating when you brake or reverse just like a full-size vehicle.
- Hazard Light Function — Activate amber hazard lights through the EZ-Set button for emergency warning displays, adding another layer of scale realism and visual interest to your RC model.
- No Additional Programming Required — The lighting functionality is pre-programmed into the ECM-2.5, meaning you don't need to install extra modules, configure settings, or understand complex programming languages—simply plug in and enjoy.
- Point-to-Point LED Wiring Bus Design — A single length of wire runs the entire system in a clean, organised manner that's both professional-looking and practical, making installation straightforward and the final result neat and hidden within your body shell.
- Compatible with Standard Bumper Lights — You can use this Pro Scale lighting system alongside your TRX-4M's standard bumper lights for enhanced brightness and additional visual impact without conflicts between systems.
- Includes Complete Installation Hardware — Everything needed for installation is included: the LED lighting harness, self-tapping fasteners in two sizes (1.6x10mm and 1.6x7mm), and zip ties to secure and organise your wiring neatly inside the body.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas TRX-4M Pro Scale Light Set demonstrates exceptional engineering quality and attention to scale detail. Built with fully waterproof LED components, the system withstands the demanding conditions that RC enthusiasts encounter when running through muddy trails, water crossings, and variable UK weather. The point-to-point LED wiring architecture eliminates the traditional radial wiring approach, instead using a single continuous wire distribution system that minimises installation complexity whilst maximising reliability. The system operates seamlessly with the ECM-2.5 electronic control module found in the TRX-4M Bronco, with all necessary programming already embedded in the module's firmware. This integrated approach means you're not adding extra weight, complexity, or potential failure points to your RC vehicle. The five selectable lighting modes provide versatility, from practical daytime running light configurations to full demonstration sequences that showcase every lighting function. The LED technology delivers bright, true-colour illumination visible from distance, whilst consuming minimal power from your vehicle's battery system. Installation hardware is thoughtfully included—two 1.6x10mm self-tapping fasteners, two 1.6x7mm self-tapping fasteners, and two zip ties—everything required to securely mount and organise the lighting system within your Bronco body. The system's design philosophy prioritises ease of installation over complexity, making it accessible to RC enthusiasts of all skill levels whilst maintaining professional quality and durability standards expected from Traxxas.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this lighting kit work with my TRX-4M Bronco without modification? — Yes, this lighting kit is specifically designed for the TRX-4M Ford Bronco 1/18 RTR scale model and fits directly into the #9711 body with no modifications required. The kit works with all colour variants including Blue, Red, Orange, Black, White, and Area 51 models. Simply plug the single harness wire into one of the light channels on your ECM-2.5 module.
- Do I need to programme the lights or install additional modules? — No programming is required. The lighting functionality is already built into your TRX-4M's ECM-2.5 electronic control module, so you simply install the lights physically and connect the single wiring harness. This is one of the biggest advantages over aftermarket systems that require external controllers and complex setup procedures.

The entire Pro Scale Light Set features fully waterproof construction, making it ideal for running through wet terrain, puddles, and varied weather conditions. This durability is essential for UK-based RC enthusiasts who frequently encounter damp conditions and variable weather.
- How many lighting modes does this system offer? — The system provides five selectable lighting modes, all accessible through the EZ-Set button on your transmitter: headlights with marker lights, daytime running lights only, lights off (with brake and reverse only), hazard lights, and a demonstration mode that cycles through all lighting functions. This variety allows you to adapt your lighting to different scenarios and showcase your model's capabilities.
- Can I use standard bumper lights in addition to this Pro Scale lighting? — Yes. The system is designed to work alongside your TRX-4M's standard bumper lights, allowing you to use additional lighting for enhanced brightness and visual impact without any system conflicts.

These are specifically sized to work with the TRX-4M Bronco body and are sufficient for secure mounting and wiring organisation.
- How do the brake and reverse lights work? — The ECM-2.5 module intelligently controls the brake and reverse lights based on your driving inputs. When you brake or engage reverse, the corresponding lights illuminate automatically, providing authentic scale functionality that mimics real vehicle behaviour.
- Is this suitable for beginners to RC? — Yes, this lighting kit is excellent for beginners because it requires no programming knowledge or technical expertise beyond basic installation. The single-wire connection and included hardware make setup straightforward, and the integrated ECM-2.5 functionality eliminates the complexity that discourages newcomers to the RC hobby.
