This is off Kato web site

Use this kit to add interior lighting to the Budd Business Car produced by Kato USA. Kit includes jumpers to change voltage for DCC layouts. (No decoder included).

This lighting kit also fits some of our Japanese HO models. Please contact us with your model's stock number for assistance.

Kato USA recommends the White LED lighting kit for use with Digital Command Control (DCC).

If you're not afraid to open it up you'll probably need to install a resistor in it. I have no experience with these cars but that seems to be the standard practice with LED's. Hope this helped a little.
