Hi guys,

I have a trio of Athearn SD50's painted as NS from the latest run that I want to change over to my freelanced road. I am going to use a NCE DA15SRP decoder and want to add ditch lights to the front pilot and possibly the rear pilot. I had done many DCC installations and mounted ditch lights but have not hooked them up to a decoder before. Is there a bulb that I can use that does not need resistors?
 
Thanks Josh. I just found the MR article on adding ditch lights to a Athearn SD60 a few minutes ago and I see that they used the 1.5's and resistors so I guess I'll either get it right or fry something.
