Depends on which lights you want to illuminate, e.g., light bar, headlamps, hazards etc.

Therese links may be of help. I recall there is a fire engine build on the forum that had led's try a search

SMD LEDs come in a number of sizes but the most common are:

 

1206 - 3.2 x 1.5 x 1.1mm

0805 - 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.8mm

0603 - 1.6 x 0.8 x 0.8mm

0402 - 1.0 x 0.5 x 0.45mm

The big issue with these is getting wires attached to them!  I use 0.1mm enamelled wire on the 0402 and 0603 and 30AWG on the 0805 and 1206.

 

For 1/24 head light you want to be looking at 0402 or 0603 beacons can probably be done with 0805, indicators would be 0402.

 

Cheers,
