LED for Marklin 8803 (Br 24)

Does anyone know where I can pickup a drop in LED for the Marklin BR 24 (8803)?

I see that ztrackcenter has a few different drop in solutions, but nothing for what I have (http://www.ztrackcenter.com/high-tech-modellbahnen?page=1).

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,
I've used these drop-in LED units and they work well. You might want to add a bit of a shade around the LED as it's quite a bit brighter than the incandescent unit you're replacing and the light seems to find its way through any sort of imperfection in in the loco shell.

Thanks Mark. Actually, mine didn't come with a light at all. I don't know if that is common or not, but my set was used.

There have been times when the Marklin replacement bulbs have been hard to get so I'm not surprised you didn't get one. There may have been a black plastic tube over the original to keep the light going forward only.
