replacing rear light for aristo craft streamline passenger toLED

[nico]

<p>First of a big thanks to Neil Robinson for his instructions and diagrams </p><p>the rear red light on the passenger car kept blowing i got replacements from aristo craft but they too blew which was strange as the other red bulbs at the sides are perfect.So i contacted Neil to find out how to replace it with the LEDs i got for my signal bridge.</p><p>heres the diagram and i will show you how i did the job.Most of you with a lot of experience at this will probably laught at this but it might be a help to beginners who might avoid a DIY job

Nicely done Nico, very neat.
Your fix is better, more reliable, and no doubt cheaper than using genuine spares. :applause:
