Little tiny headlights for HO Athearn engines
« on: November 22, 2023, 09:21:27 AM »
Have any of you found a source for the tiny headlights that Athearn uses in some of their engines, like the GP9. I can't tell if they are bulbs or LEDs?

Thank you

I don't know what Athearn uses in the GP-9. Athearn used to use bulbs but I believe they now finally use LEDs. Anyway, people here have gotten their LED's from either eBay or some from Evans Designs (which they recommend): https://evandesigns.com/products/chip-nano-pico-leds. Plenty of other LED's there too.

I use an ebay seller (also an online seller) called LighthouseLED.  they have a very wide range of sizes, colors, configurations, etc, both "naked" and pre-wired.
