My new WPL Truck upgrade board has provision for a 2 speed gearbox to be plugged in as well as a rear light set, I have the gearbox can anyone recommend a dealer who sells a simple plug in rear light set ?

I've fitted rear led lights on all of my 1/16 trucks. Just buy pairs of suitably sized LEDs, drill out the lamps to take them and then paint over the light cluster lens with red and / or amber translucent paint (Revell do pots). It's easy to then wire them in by linking them to the front lights. The LEDs can be found ready wired on eBay for pennys so well worth doing. Just make sure you buy the correct voltage leds.

Good Morning, Jarndice,
I used a set of them on the Lend Lease truck build. Those were battery powered tho' and had the power source in a crate in the bed. I went looking and found these that might work better for your application:

You guys know I've put together a couple of trucks with that board and the tail light feature isn't exactly what you think. I'm pretty sure if you plug into the tail light socket they will only light up when you're going in reverse or when you use the turn signals. I put the LEDs in the rear and then wire them in parallel to the front headlights. That way they come on and off with the headlights and everything works like it's supposed to. If you want to try for brake lights or turn signals, further investigation will be required, but I've got a couple of them so I can do some bench testing and see what I can figure out, if you think that will help.

And if you want to go with something like the first link that painless posted, I have a bunch of those here so I could stick a few in a card envelope and send them over there if you want. Just let me know. The ones I have I got from Erik for the tank trailer project but I already had LEDs for that so I didn't use them.

Me personally will just wire some red led’s up. In this case to the existing lights but on my tanks I use red led and give them a plug

Thank you everybody, Your suggestions managed to form a view of what I needed and in concert with a metal chassis brace with pre-threaded holes and a lighting loom with matching threaded light cases and a Futaba connector I found everything at Banggood.
Painless you came close with your second link but the dealer will not sell to the UK And that spurred me to find exactly what I wanted and no compromise needed
