Traxxas X-MAXX tail lamp bracket

The lights for the X-MAXX model have one serious drawback in my opinion. The rear light is attached to the body, which sometimes comes off. Breaking the cables is then almost certain. That's why I decided to attach the lamp to the rear bumper. For this purpose, I made a special bracket that you can download here. The lamp itself clips quite solidly in the bracket. Bracket is screwed then with two M3 screws to the bumper. Two holes should be drilled in the bumper and nuts with washers should be inserted from the inside. I additionally glued the bracket with thermal glue on the entire contact surface. I secured also the ends of the lamp to the bumper with zip ties. For this, you also need to make holes for the zip ties. It is also worth leading the cable to the bumper inside (see photos) and smelting the channel (depression) for the cable. Sorry for the dirt in the pictures, but I wanted to test the solution before presenting it here :) Ps. It is also worth using a transparent silicone to seal the lamp, because it is not protected against moisture at the factory.
