I went back and swapped the wires and put the DC plug back in.  Both directional lights work correctly.  Re-installed decoder = no lights. Then it dawned on me... go back and re-read directions, and there it was in B&W.  The decoder remembers the last thing it was told the lights were doing in DCC mode when you switch to running in DC mode.  And, having never been told the lights were on, the lights are off.  This is probably a good thing because I will need to turn down the input voltage to the lightbulbs with the decoder CV so I dont cook them (or my plastic shell).
