I wanted to say how much ive enjoyed reading the forum and all the expertise and helpfulness this forum has. I am new to forum but have been into HO for several years and all the talk of adding details to Locos has inspired me.:) I have a die-cast metal switcher, believe it to be made by Cary? The headlights on it are just molded metal and I dont really wanna try drilling holes in them so i can add lights to it. I was hoping to add lights to the top of the cab and above the fronts lights. I have looked at several detail companies but cant tell if i can get a bulb to the added light that i put on it. Any help will be great, Thanks
 
Take a look at surface mount LEDs. I would think that they were made for a situation just like this.

Drilling out the body IS another option. But I would do this using a drill press and some high speed bits. Its not really hard to do, but can be a pain trying to keep the holes straight for the bulbs.
