There's no Lionel lighting kits that I know of, except for various styles of street lights, however Woodland Scenics has some LED light kits that may suit your purposes.  Check your local hobby shop or the Woodland Scenics website.

www.woodlandscenics.com

Click on "Products" and look for the "Just Plug" lighting systems.

Model Power (whoever owns them these days) makes peel and stick grain of wheat lights you might want to look into also.  They come with a little plastic base that the wire ffeeds through and there's a circle of double stick foam tape in the bottom.  But I often scrap the tape and feed the light through the wrong way because the bases make nice looking conical lamp shades.

You're welcome, Toy Trains FTW!

FTW?  Uh, that doesn't mean what I think it does, does it?

Penny Trains' suggestion is a good one as well, as are all her suggestions.
