led headlights
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, April 1, 2005 10:33 PM
Ok everyone i realize this is probably a repeated post for many but where can i buy LED headlights to use as i am converting my engine roster over to DCC. I figure as i go to DCC may as well upgrade to LED's. I have plenty of info on installing them just need to know where to buy them. Thanks in advance for the help.

Ebay is a good cheap source of the leds, you can get the proper resitors there also or at any good electronics service shop or even Radio Shack (though they will be more expensive.)

I've converted almost my entire fleet to leds. See pics on my Webshots site.

A lot also depends on what color LED you're looking for. Golden white LEDs are usually the best, but are hard to find and are expensive. If you can settle for ultra-bright white LEDs for headlights, check http://www.allelectronics.com
