RX18 led flash

Hi guys,
i have read and looked at the rx18 wiring diagrams and am a bit confused.
Is there a simple way to have a led for main gun barrel flash ?
I have a 2.4ghz T-34 conversion to an assault gun so there is no BB or recoil motor.
I wasn't sure if there were two points where i could connect a led so that when i press the "k" button on the HL remote i could get a momentary flash from the led.
Hope this makes sense and someone can help.
Cheers

When Heng Long use to make IR tanks the LED flash was wired between the IR circuit and the microswitch. I just can’t remember which pins it used.

Although not certain if would work with the K button as was using the airsoft/recoil micro switch.

You could connect to the IR Emitter, no resistor needed but it be a flash and some flickers rather than a big flash.
