Hi Mark

I used a simple RC switch. It comes with RC type plug and plugs into the receiver. It is then wired to the power source(in my case a 9 volt battery) and the two lights (front and rear convoy lights). Pick a channel on your Radio unit with a simple two-way switch and you are done.

Here's the one I used and where I purchased it. They are a great source for lots of cool stuff.

If I get a chance to pull the turret and deck from my Panther I'll take a photo.

Kind regards
Tim

Hello Mark

You need a seperate switch unit. Terminals used are NO and RLA or RLD.
I use a small 3.2Ahr battery and put a fuse in and the + onto RLA off on NO and then onto the feed to the convoy and headlight. - back to the - on the battery.
