Accurate Lighting's kits are very difficult to deal with. I installed a kit with forward/reverse lighting with ditch lights in an Athearn C44-9W, and it took me forever to get it right. There is too much extra wire leading to the bulbs - much of it needs to be "stuffed" inside the engine shell. Also, the power source is held in place crudely. <br /> A better bet is the C.R.E. ("Creative railway Engineering" I think) lighting kits, which come in a bag and clearly tell you exactly what type of engine they will fit and what sort of lights are invloved. They are cheaper than Accurate Lighting as well. I have installed about 7 C.R.E. kits, and the results are incredible, especially the ones with the alternating ditch lights. Hope all this helps.
