Excellent LED's for HO model train headlights
Most excellent LED's for HO model train headlights, nice and bright with perfect warm white color. They fit comfortably epoxied into a 0.036" hole drilled into either oem plastic headlight lenses or a short 0.060" fiber. You can also use them directly in place of grain-of-wheat bulbs with no lenses at all as long as the LED's are not touching metal. Wires are thin, flexible, tough and easy to fit inside loco's. You can wire 2 of them in series for dual headlights and use a single 1K ohm resistor (i.e., 2 LEDS + a 1K in front and 2 LED's and a 1K for the rear). I put the lenses or bare led's loose in the headlight hole, tack them in place with adhesive putty over their wires and then anchor the wires semi-permanently to the inside of the shell using a drop of epoxy. Voila, easy, non-destructive replacement in case of problems, although I haven't had a bad one yet. Keep making more, please!
If you can make them fit, they should do fine in other gauges and types of models as well.
