most of the LED's are only 3 volts not six volts! the older engines use gra11in of wheat light and were 6 volts ! if you put 6 volts on a LED you WILL BURN THE DIODE OUT! adjust the buck converter for 3 volts or less depending how bright you want the LED 1

Alan- MTH advertises this LED harness as 6 volts (CC-0000015) which is why I am confused. I am trying to power a couple 6 volt GOW bulbs off of the same buck converter. This is why I want to run the output of that converter at 6 VDC. I'm trying to determine if I can feed that MTH LED harness at the advertised 6 volts or if I need to add resistors for the LEDs. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
