Just recieved a Slot.it Sauber C9. Thought I would at least set it up ready for the In car Pro lights. So headlights, one or two LED's each side? What is the recieved wisdom, one LED caus you can't tell or two to look good. How do you mount them drill out the "glass" completly and just hot melt in the LED? Would the board take the load of 4 LED headlights. Thanks in advance.

You may well run into problems as Ian (MIH) has specifically stated on his website:

Chiping is using the Scaley Saloon car chip as I downgrade the motor cars to Scaley Std so I can use the saloon car chip for my small track so its OK legally.

Cool ..... Slot.It chips have the Scalextric firmware on them and I know Ian was quite adamant about the use if his firmware.

If you are adding your own LEDS, I would suggest that you have at least one resistor for the front and one for the rear, 470ohm ones should do the trick.
