I made up a light kit to fit my build using some warm white 5mm LED's, and some standard 5mm red and 3mm orange LEDs. I also ended up with 2 different voltages and running some LEDs in series and some in parallel in order to get different levels of brightness. There is no lighting controller which I really like, you just need to find LEDs rated to handle your battery voltage/receiver voltage.
It was a time consuming process so I broke it up into parts as I put it together.
The chassis side has fog lights up front along with 2 marker lights with the rear just having brake lights (the brake lights are built into the rear bumper). The fog lights are running straight off the battery voltage so 11-13V, the marker lights are running off 6V receiver voltage plus they have built in resisters. Brake lights also run off 6V and I ran them in series to make them a bit dimmer.
I ended up making up a dual JST plug retainer in order to achieve the 2 voltages. One side gets receiver voltage the other gets battery voltage.
This connects to the body.
The rear came out the tidiest wiring wise. I tried to make all of the wires just the right length so I didnt have to coil up or deal with the excess.
The front just didn't have a good place to route or hide the wires behind the bumper. But thats only seen with he body off.
I decided against adding lights for every option, like the main blinkers on the headlight, I think those only come on when in use. Plus I dont plan on adding a scale lighting controller to control blinkers, brakes and the like.
Not adding the extra blinker lights made the body side install cleaner and easier too.
The Body side lighting ended up being just the headlights and the dash lighting. Headlights get battery voltage and the dash gets 6V. I had to design up a LED retainer as it looks like Killerbody doesnt include them, you have to buy their lighting kit to get them which is pretty lame.

Routing the wiring in the body is hands down the cleanest I've ever had though its super simple which helps a ton. I ran some wires under the body mounts which meant routing them first and then soldering it all, its stuck in there now lol.
The interior kit includes a light up dash and its surprisingly detailed and they nailed the brightness of the gauge cluster, though the info-tainment center is too bright maybe like the real ones
I also finally got around to installing the firewall and brake booster I made a while back. I used .50 thick styrene for the firewall after some CAD (cardboard aided design) work. The brake booster is 3D printed. I also designed a clutch master cylinder but I'm kind of out of space to mount it so for now I'm leaving it out. Later I filled the brake master with some liquid bandage to add some yellowness and glue it in place.
The firewall mounts using the same mounting holes the interior uses. Since its .50 thick I can just flex it out of the way to fasten the screws.

I used some of the dead space behind the firewall to hide and route some of the wiring.
