You actually have an option of either changing the bulbs or putting resistors in the lines to the bulbs. If your P2K has a mars light, there is also an option of either reaplacing the bulb or wiring both filaments together through a resistor.

You want 14 volt bulbs. Most Hobby stores carry.

You might want to try :http://www.loystoys.com/ . I have purchased 14v grain of wheat bulbs from them for my P2K 0-6-0s. They can advise you on what you need.

I'm about to install a Soundtraxx DSD-LL080LC into my LL-P2K.

Word is that I need to swap out the light bulb to something that can handle the higher voltages. Does anybody have an idea where I can pick these up?
