Recommendation: meh 4.65 / 5 from 37 reviews

I bought it to light up one of my cars with headlights. It worked perfectly and is really good in the dark at night. I need to get some hair bands to hold it together to not let the wires loose but still EXCELLENT! It could also be used for tail lights just like when you hit the brakes on a real car. All you need to do is add the see through 1x1 red circle brick to make it red and hook it up to the IR Reciever. Perfect, small, lightweight, fits in holes of the bricks with pin holes in them.

Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 47 reviews

Works wonderfully. After watching a youtube video (put out by a private individual, not lego), I was able to easily add this light set to my 60051 lego passenger train set. Now, with one dial on the remote that comes with the 60051 train, I can turn on, increase and decrease the brightness on the lights on the train. Still have the other remote dial to turn on the train and increase and decrease the speed. LOVE IT!!
