I want to add 2 fiber optic green marker lights to my NPR BERSHIRE PS2 ENGINE.

If you are referring to the Classification Lights, i.e. "Class Lights", on the front of locomotives, the color green would NOT generally be correct for a freight locomotive. In the real world of railroading, the color green in the Class Lights, indicated that a Second Section of that train is following. Thus, white Class Lights, which indicate an Extra Train" (not scheduled), would be more correct for the NKP (NOT 'NPR') Berkshire.

I made the fiber optic strands from one 9-18v green led from Evans designs. I would like to add it but not sure which is the correct way. To the circuit board or piggyback the headlight wiring?  I also want to change the warm dim factory old light to a new cool white brighter led which I know is not prototypicaly correct, rather my own preference so it will illuminate what's in front of it better.  As always thanks for any input.   I also would like to do the same with marker lights for the tender which I believe are red? Also how to add them
