Hi all, i’m in the process of fitting an 55021 decoder to a old 3 pin lgb loco, I have isolated the motor and attached wires to it, attached two wires to the pick ups and pulled the lot Through. This is my first attempt at fitting my own decoder and was wondering where do I wire the lights up to ? One for forward, one for back and a cab light. Thanks as always

There are 8 pins to the rear or opposite end where the green/brown/white and yellow wires come out. The furthest 2 are the rear light + left - right. Next two forwards are the front lights. Next two are motor. Next two are F1 which I think can be used for cab light.
What have you put it in, were the lights working before you chipped it? If not can you check the bulbs are not blown.
Ok did you set all the Dip Switches to off? The other thing that can be an issue with lighting is speed steps being different between controller and the loco. This could include updates to the dreaded CV 29. Hm good luck with that.......
Beware of a reset!
It will set all the voltage dividers to full track power..
If you should put the loco on your track (as opposed to a programming track) you will blow all your bulbs.
