dawrf light problems... | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

So I bought 2 tunnels that a guy put the dwarf lights in..Look cool. But I have had grief in trying to get the wiring right to my 1531R controller ....Lionel says to put the red to ACL/Pwr...Blk to Grw...Green or yellow to NO......... I have it Red to NO...Bk to Gr...and Yellow to NC. In that, the green light is on and when the beam is broke the red light comes on..BUT..the Green does not..ever go out. I tried it the LIONEL way but no good..... The only thing I get is green light on and the red comes on to when tripped. The green never goes out. Or did the seller wire the lights wrong?? I have a picture of them..

@Dougie fresh, Try the following:

BLACK - ACC PWR

GREEN - NC

RED - NO

(If the red and green lights are reversed, switch the red and green wires on the 153IR)
