Genesis GP38-2 Light Question
Posted by JDVass on Tuesday, February 23, 2021 8:48 PM

Does anyone happen to know if the Genesis GP38-2 #G40602 uses LED's or regular bulbs for the headlights? I'm not sure of the age of it as it.

Thanks in advance.

I believe this run was from 2015. The specs posted here say lighting is provided by microbulbs.

It took a while for Athearn to get on the LED bandwagon.

Good Luck, Ed

A 2015 vintage would not have LEDs.
