You can even do the www.pollensoftware.com solution in N scale using surface mount devices. I bought the LEDs (and some magnet wire) from www.ngineering.com, and the ICs and resistors from www.mouser.com. The resistor is p/n "260-4.7-RC" . Solder the resistor between pins 2-3, run a magnet wire from pin 3 to the top of the IC, solder the magnet wire to one end of the LED and a 24ga copper wire "post" to the other end of the LED. Bind everything with epoxy, and substitute it for the headlight bulb. It required some cramming, but I was able to swap out the bulb in my new Life-Like FA-1. Remarkable difference.
