FT trailing unit PS 3 upgrade

Harlee62OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

I have a 20-2563-1 FT A trailing unit I am installing a PS3 upgrade kit in.
I have a couple questions

I do have a complete 20-2563-1 FT ABA set this one is a lone piece I acquired for parts and decided to make it a fully operational FT A unit.

1. the smoke unit is the same as PS3 so there is no cutting necessary however the existing wires need to be removed and solder in the wires from the kit, correct?

2. The original marker lights on this FT unit, are they LEDs? I know all headlight, number board and interior lights are incandescent.

there is also more light connections than this locomotive has, would it be safe to remove the unused wires to provide a cleaner more manageable installation?
