Lighted scale vehicles

Can you post photos of the vehicles you are referring to?

If they have LED lights they may work only on DC?

Yes, but it will Be a while. Since I sent the original post I have learned they we bought from Jack Pearce at York. And they may require DC power. I plan to give DC a shot.  Thanks

Good point, I will give that a try. 

 

Thanks, Mike 

I was also going to suggest talking to Jack Pearce at the next York meet. I bought a police car from him and I asked him if he sold the LED kits. He said that he tried that in the beginning but he used to get a lot of problem phone calls because most people would screw up the installation. Now he only provides the vehicles complete.

The only person I would trust to install LEDs in a diecast vehicle is Lee Willis.

Start with DC through a resistor with a variable power supply.  I'd use a 470 ohm resistor and start with 2-3 volts and slowly bring the power up. 

If you purchased them from Jack Pearce at York, track power works just fine. 

 

 

Well, darn. I guess both of mine are broken. I tried accessory power from my AC transformer on both of them and they refuse to light up.

I guess I need to call Jack
