Connecting Lights (LEDs)

- Install the Ditch, Headlight, Marker, Mars, Overhead Blinking, Cab Interior,
Number Board & Back-up lightbulbs into the proper engine & wire harness
locations as seen in the diagram on page 16.
- On RailKing diesel locomotives, the headlight and backup light are usually a
screw or bayonet based bulb inserted into a bracket mounted to the chassis.
This bulb must be replaced with headlight bulbs (D&G) in the kit in order to
have constant voltage, directional lighting. Secure the bulbs in place with tape
or hot glue. Do NOT wire the existing bracket and bulb into the Proto-Sound
3.0 harness. It will damage the lighting circuit.

connector with Brown and purple wires.
2. Connect the Rear Back-up Light (double LEDs) with Green connector to the
Green connector with green and purple wires.

6. Connect the two Number Board Lights (double LEDs) with Red connector to
the Red connector with Orange and purple wires. One set goes to the front and
the other to the rear.
7. Connect the Front Ditch 1 Light with Red connector to the Red connector
