DB,
I agree. If you are using them in GP7s, use the golden-white LEDs. They have that yellowish tint that you find on steamers and earlier diesels. I use nothing but LEDs for my headlights.

Yea, is that cool, or what!! It makes you feel like you're actually on the train itself, as it moves around the layout.

Hi: I read somewhere, to apply a thin yellow paint on the White Led's to tone down the Bluish color. It works, but you have to experiment as to how much paint to put on. If you try this I hope it works for you. It did for me, I used cheap craft paint from A.C. Moore.

Yeah, I like the Golden White LEDs for headlights. They cost a bit more than the plain white ones, but the difference is worth a few cents as long as you're going to the effort of replacing old light bulbs.

I just decided and did change the Lights (ricebulb) on a BB GP7 for some LED Brite whites, the difference is extrmely noticible. The only thing that I'm not to pleased is the blueish tone that comes with ths color of light, but they seem like halogen lamps on a diseil !!!!!
The only reason that i decided to do this is because there was a post a few days back saying it was easy, and it was.
