Had to do something to keep myself busy, so I fixed my Savage with some lights.
Fronts are huge 20mm diameter blue leds which are attached to the bumper where the HPI "lights" were. I also glued fluorescent o-rings around them.
Rear lights are 12mm diameter red leds (not super bright), which are sitting at the bumber holes.
Leds are powered from receiver battery through channel 3 at my receiver so now I remember to turn the power off after driving.

When all the leds and wires are attached to the chassis, I don't have any hassle with wires when removing the body.

On to the pics -

fronts off:


(they're really not that bright, just long exposure trick)

rears:



Leds & o-rings came from www.dealextreme.com and resistors from local electronics hobby store.
