Default Program LED's to a button on 4PX?

HI. I am new here but not new to RC. I am using a Futaba 4PX with it's standard receiver. I have bound a set of LED's in their own port and programmed them to several different buttons. They just stay on constantly. The store said I need some voltage converter? Is this correct and if not what could I be doing wrong? They just stay on al the time and their programmed buttons do nothing. I used both the programming card and radio to bind the port. I am not sure what I am doing wrong? Everything else works fine. Thank you

I had LEDs in a plane once.
I think you need a switch that HobbyKing sells. It’s really small so you should be able to hide it in your rig. Basically you plug it in to the Rx channel you choose, then assign a button on your Tx and it recognizes the pulse(?) for on or off from the signal terminal.
Around 7$ if I remember correctly. Wish I could recall its exact name for you

Thank you! That is exactly what the store said but they wanted $30. I will get it from Hobbyking. It is odd to me LED's do not work like a Servo or motor. I guess that is it. Problem solved.

I do. I am just being an idiot. I am unhappy it costs something. Even though the whole thing is expensive I just like freebies. I have an Axial AX10 with 4WS and dual 580 motors. Everything is upgraded. so I am just extremely cheap that is all.
