So you just got led's and wired them up together and attached a servo connector to plug into the receiver?  Did you add a switch or any resistors ? 

I never thought about lights on any project till now.

Most of the pre-wired led you can find on Amazon or eBay are actually including the required resistor, so you don't even have to take care of it in case you go this route... If not pre-wired, you may need to add a resistor so the tension is actually not too high for the led (it would break it otherwise)...

And beside this, I like to have leds on my cars: it adds to the realism. I still need to find ways to add some to the Javelin and to the Super Hotshot...

yes Lee I use cheap leds I bought on wish. 2 warm white and 2 red. Wired in parallel. So you don't need resistor. The current is enough low.
I love to light my rc.

Flo, if they came pre-wired, the resistor is under the insulator at the exit of the led bulb  

My kids are now back from my parents' place, and my daughter got her Lunchbox back...

No these ones aren't prewired. 
fun for your daughter

Kid's lunchboxes night run... Lights works well.

Yeahhh awesome. I love that

I published my first thing on Thingiverse today
Marui Hunter/Galaxy Rear suspension reinforcement by silvertriple - Thingiverse

Two days later, that is 2 set of parts that went to Thingiverse
Tamiya Super Hotshot - Lights Holder by silvertriple - Thingiverse
Optima - Javelin Lights Holder by silvertriple - Thingiverse

A 3D Printer, a good sense of observation, some ideas... A new world of ideas is opening to us...
While searching found some rc cars completely done using a 3D printer. I may consider building my own car at some point...
