Review: The Perfect Addition To Your Kato Super Chief Passenger Car Set - My kit arrived in 2 weeks from Japan. The instructions were in English as well as Japanese. With a little tutoring from YouTube, I found these lights easy to install in my Kato Super Chief Passenger Car set. It was necessary; however, to shorten the light diffuser for the Vista Valley car due to the outside lights already installed. For those who found that they needed to press on the car to make the lights work, you need to redo your installation. Most likely you have inserted the light diffuser too far back and have created pressure against the light unit. You may also have bent one or both sets of contact strips. If the light is not being sent all the way to the other end of the car, the light diffuser is either upside down or too far away from the LED. When properly installed, these lights are excellent. I did not use the color filter because I liked the color of the light as is. These filters require removing the light board from the plastic unit for insertion. This is very hard in N scale. I wouldn't bother if I were you.
Review: Good fit, poor light color. - Kato makes well-engineered products. The fit is very good and installation is quick. I wish they would use warm color LED, around 2500-300K, instead of the blue color 4-5K in appearance. The blue color is unfit for earlier models as it gives an ugly fluorescent light appearance. The orange lens is very difficult to apply and does virtually nothing to effect the blue. It seems like an afterthought.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between kato no 11-212 and 11-214 lighting kits ?**
A: The number 11-212 is Commuter train light , and Express　, like Fluorescent light .   The number 11-214  is Light like light bulb , for example , Sleeping Express .

**Q: Can this kit be use on DCC track?**
A: The light kit draws power from the track just as the engines do. I can’t guarantee the kits will work but I can’t think of a reason they wouldn’t.

**Q: Do these kits come with 6 light bars?**
A: 6 LED parts, 6 x 2 pickups, 6 yellow filters (which do not make a difference with 11-212) and 6 diffusion bars are included in this package.

**Q: do you have any idea if this will work in a NON-KATO car?**
A: The tricky part of installing them in non kato cars is collecting power from the rails. If you can work that out, you may be able to make it work. You almost have to use Kato trucks to collect  electricity on whatever cars you use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice lighting effect
*by S***S on May 15, 2024*

Adds a nice lighting effect to Kato passenger cars. Install varies depending on type cars. Some were pretty easy, some were hard and took some trial and error to get working, but worth the effort.
