I know there was a post here somewhere, part of another thread, that talked about lights on the masterchiefs armor. ( I think it was the "armor and Battlerifle thread).
They (I think it was red?) said they counted 8 lights.
I've "unofficially" counted 9 light panels plus the 4 helmet lights..
Two chest light panels (right near the nipples as seen on the oversized image of the blue spartan on the left edge of the Snowbound image)

One light panel on each shoulder plate. (in that same image, they are barely seen, and possibly not lit.. it's almost like each one has an independant light sensor, but on that campaign shot from Bungie, you can see it.) http://www.mjolnirarmor.com/halo-gallery/g...NewsweekLrg.jpg
Then two light panels in the oblong slots in the thigh armor, directly over each knee. (This one I saw first on artwork, but I beleive I saw it "confirmed" on one of the screenshots.. don't remember for certain.)
You can see SOMETHING going on, in that same snowbound pic, with the same blue spartan.. The lights look different though, if that's what they are.. there's not black outline like there is on the other light panels.
On this pic, you can see the thigh ones, plus the shoulder one, and one at the top of the codpiece?

FYI, you can't always trust the artwork, for example the opening graphic on the EGM article showed a spartan with a gun on his hip, one on his back, and one 2-handed gun in his hands, which Bungie officially said was inaccurate.. one 2-handed gun at a time, total. Here's the same picture, but in the Japanese magazine scan.

BTW- those of you in England have had this main picture released as a poster (backed by Gears of War). It was a promo poster, or a poster pulled-out of a magazine. Can anyone score one for me? I'll buy it if it's not too expensive, please PM me.
The graphic used on the cover of that magazine issue was part of a larger image which clearly showed the light panels in the slots on the lower front of the thighs. You can see the full image on one of the japanese magazine scans (on the right side.. in the smoke.. best halo 3 artwork EVER..).

I'll make a more "official" count of lights at a later time, when we have more thorough images of the new back AS IT APPEARS IN THE GAME not as it appears in a football commercial.
I just wondered if anyone had taken the time to count them on the H3 armor.
BTW- I just noticed... there's a Halo 2 arm holding this Spartan Laser..? Look at the back of the hand: http://www.mjolnirarmor.com/images/halo3/2%20(10).jpg
