Update on lighting issue:

I installed the caps on the mother board pins that go to the R2LC. The LED lights work! They are directionally controlled too. However, the headlight strobes upon startup and continues to strobe until I press the boost button. The headlight and taillight will not directionally function until I hit the boost button. I can spin the red throttle wheel up or down in forward or reverse increasing wheel speed and the head light will only strobe until the boost button is pushed. It seems a bit weird. After I pressed the boost button and gained the proper function of the headlight and taillight, I then tested the Aux1 & Aux2 headlight on/off function and it works too. Under normal operating, the headlight stays on in forward and reverse with only the tail light illuminating in the reverse direction. Oh yeah, I had to flip the polarity of the LEDs to get them to work. Initially I had the anode soldered to the positive wire of the wiring harness. They ended up working with the anode attached to the negative wire denoted on the motherboard. I used a 470 & 510 ohm resistor in series on the cathode sides of the LEDs. Thanks again GUNRUNNERJOHN for your guidance.
