Hi All - I spotted these on Ebay which I can see being a good idea to see which direction the drone is pointing. In the description, it shows they come supplied with a connector, but has anybody got any information where they would plug in please ...... I have never taken the top off the Phantom (but know how to) so if you can help - nice a simple explanation please !!!

Something close to that is offered on Amazon. It is the same LED disc, but with Velcro that sticks to the drone and velcro that sticks to the disc, so it can be removed.
It doesn't have the typical phantom connector, but it has solid, unscripted wires, formed into a rectangle for each wire. There were no instructions, but I figured out how it is supposed to work.
The positive and negative rectangular wires, slip over the battery connections in the drone. Mins eating the battery applies pressure so they will make contact.
Although I am not enthused about the connection design, it should work just fine. This is more practical for those who are not experienced in soldering.
It is offered in white, blue and a RGB design, controlled by an infrared controller. This is more for setting it up for lift off, rather than changing colors in mid-flight. But, at lower altitudes it should work. It allows for different colors, morphing between colors, steady colors and strobing colors. The white color won't be as bright as pure white LEDs, but it should be enough illumination.
Just a note: I will have a website and an Amazon shop to sell drones and accessories, if I can get all contracts approved.
I've contacted DJI three times so far, with no courtesy of a reply. I have serious concerns about this company. I hope I am very wrong. I also emailed technical support a week ago. I did get an auto reply confirming my submission. Then I got an email asking me to rate the satisfaction of their non-existent reply. When I submitted my rating, I was told my case had already been closed -after 2 days, therefore I couldn't rate them! Sorry for getting off topic!
