Dear Bill, If you plug a DCC decoder with the usual voltage light functions you will cook the 5 volt headlight bulbs. You need to add dropping resistors. Or, use the red/white (instead of blue) 5 volt lighting common from a QSI Rev. U (discontinued) or Titan decoder. We have lots more bulbs. But do not delay in ordering as Nov 17th is just around the corner and after that I am not sure we can still sell them... Don PS The other lights (class lights and numberboards) use a different socket than the headlight so you have not cooked them....
