Default LED Controller Kits

Does anyone know where I can get a LED controller kit that does brake lights by brightening a dimmed tail light, and reverse (backup) lights that turn on only when going in reverse (or hitting back on the throttle twice is how I think they do it). I have found some that do all of these things, but it is impossible to find one that does all of them, and is still being sold. It seems every time I find a site that has what I want, I either get no replies to my emails, or the guy that makes them has been sent to Afghanistan or something. A lot of people suggest Ebay, but it's pretty much just a million people selling the same controller, that just flashes a bunch of lights. I have never had so much trouble finding something that seems rather simple. I have been searching the internet for 2 days now. I don't need annoying turn signals, and I don't want my car to look like a Christmas tree or a cop car. I just want a simple controller that does headlights, brake lights, and reverse lights. Can anyone help me here?

Yes, that is odd. If you read the reviews there is a guy who plugged them in a bit different to have normal headlights and reverse lights

Yeah, Iread that too. Slightly closer to what I want, but still pretty far off, and a little bizarre.

I got one off Ebay that may fit your needs:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/8-LED-RC-1-1...item19cbad9093

The description isn't too good in the listing. It does more than what is stated.

Yeah I've seen that one all over Ebay, but every description and video of it Ihave seen show it doing nothing but flashing a bunch of lights in multiple different patterns. I am not loking for any kind of light flashing, just normal functions that lights on cars normally do. I have already gotten some guy over on the forums at rccrawlers.com to design one for me. He already made one very similar, so he thinks it should be pretty easy. I'll see how it goes.

I disabled the turn indicators because those were annoying. The car stays on low beam headlights until you move it forward, back-up lights work as intended as do brake lights. I haven't seen YouTube videos of it, but it was easy to set up, and works well. The one I have doesn't even have an option to make all lights flash. Maybe a Tamiya TUL-01 would fit your needs?

Yeah I saw a few like this, but I wasn't sure why anyone would want headlights going from low beam to high beam when ever you drive forward. I've never seen a real car that does that.

Does anyone know what is wrong with this website/forum? Very rarely can I get anything but a blank white page.

I may try one of those for my DB01. Thanks for posting.
