Overview
The Traxxas LED lights chassis harness TRX7288 is an essential lighting upgrade for RC enthusiasts looking to add realistic scale lighting to their Traxxas models. This comprehensive LED lighting kit includes four clear lights and two red lights, along with three wire ties to keep your installation neat and professional. Whether you're running your RC car UK at night or want to enhance the visual appeal of your scale crawler during the day, these LED lights deliver authentic off-road vehicle aesthetics that bring your model to life. This product is specifically designed for use with the Traxxas Pro Scale Lighting System and integrates seamlessly with existing lighting configurations.
RC lighting has become increasingly popular among scale model enthusiasts across the UK, and the Traxxas LED lights chassis harness offers an affordable way to get started with this exciting customisation. The kit is particularly popular with TRX-4 owners and other Traxxas scale models who want to achieve that perfect, realistic finish. The combination of clear and red LEDs gives you versatility in how you configure your lighting setup, allowing you to create custom lighting patterns that match your vehicle's intended purpose, whether that's a night-crawling expedition or a display piece that commands attention.
This lighting upgrade requires the separate Traxxas power supply unit TRX7286 to operate, which means you can integrate this into an existing Pro Scale Lighting System or use it as part of a new installation. The modular design of Traxxas LED lighting means you can start simple and expand your setup over time as your collection grows.
Key Features

- Chassis Harness Configuration — The harness is specifically designed to mount directly to your model's chassis, keeping wiring organized and protected while maintaining a clean, professional appearance that doesn't interfere with the scale aesthetic.
- Three Wire Ties Included — Professional-grade wire ties ensure your lighting installation remains secure and tidy, preventing wires from moving around during driving and protecting connections from damage during off-road use.
- Pro Scale Lighting System Compatible — Designed to work seamlessly with the Traxxas Pro Scale Lighting System, this harness allows you to take advantage of advanced features like remote control brightness adjustment and programmable lighting patterns when combined with Traxxas Link wireless module technology.
- Plug-and-Play Installation — The LED lights feature simple plug-in connections to the distribution block or power module, making installation straightforward for users of varying experience levels without requiring soldering or complex electrical work.
- Scalable Lighting Setup — The modular design means you can combine this harness with other Traxxas lighting accessories like the 8086 Scene Lights, 8087 Light Bar, 8088 Front Bumper Light Bar, or 8026X Rock Light Kit to create a comprehensive lighting system tailored to your specific model.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas LED lights chassis harness TRX7288 represents quality engineering in scale model lighting, with thoughtful design that considers both functionality and realism. The four clear LEDs and two red LEDs are integrated into a chassis harness that distributes power efficiently across your model while maintaining the authentic appearance of a real vehicle's lighting layout. The LED technology used in Traxxas Pro Scale Lighting systems is renowned for brightness and colour accuracy, ensuring your clear lights produce a brilliant white illumination and your red lights deliver deep, realistic red output. The harness itself is constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the vibrations and impacts of off-road RC driving, with the included wire ties providing cable management that prevents damage during transport and operation. This lighting solution is engineered to work specifically with the Traxxas power supply unit TRX7286, ensuring proper voltage regulation and current delivery to prevent LED burnout whilst maintaining consistent brightness throughout your driving session. The modular nature of the Traxxas Pro Scale Lighting System means this harness can be combined with other lighting accessories to create custom configurations limited only by your imagination, making it an excellent foundation for building a fully-featured lighting system on your TRX-4 or compatible Traxxas model.
