You're likely already familiar with this product, as similar versions have been released from Kato before, but I'd like to emphasize the fact that the Ver. 2 kits have a different color LED much closer to the warm white of an incandescent bulb, whereas previous kits had an almost blue hue that could be changed to a warmer color by use of an included color filter. If you add the included optional color filter to the Ver. 2, the warm white light becomes a much more yellow, almost orange color, perfect for modeling early passenger cars. Highly recommended addition to N-scale passenger cars.

Instructions are poor. Lighting once install is not uniform. Allot of money for what you get. I have the Kato passenger cars so I need the lights. Sorry.

KATO products are easy to use and reliable - this set is no exception. Unlike most other brands, you do not even need tool to add light to your KATO passenger car. Everything is snap-on with locating tabs. As long as you handle the parts carefully to avoid bending them, your passenger car will light up evenly and brightly (with choice for white or yellowish light). I have almost 30 cars with KATO lighting. All working great except the Amfleets - but the problem is with the truck design and not the light.

Once installed, you will need to be meticulous in cleaning your track, wheels, and any electrical pickups on your cars. This was the cause of flicker on my setup, but good track work and clean contacts fixed it. There are also a couple posts on train forums for simple capacitive circuits you can add to the car if flicker remains a problem. Have fun!

Great price and fast shipping. This Kato light kit works on a wide variety of cars. Easy to install with great results! I will definitely buy this again if needed for other cars in the future.
