Not the answer you are looking for but I wire them and add people myself. It's not hard if you want a project. Evans designs is a good source for the LEDs.

 

I also buy itsy-bitsy-teenie-weenie LED's from Evans Designs and make my own (HO scale) lighted vehicles.
I use their orange flashing LED's on the top of wreckers and their red flashing LED's on the top of police cars.
It sure adds some cool realism to the layout!

Jack Pierce has been doing this for many years. He displays at York and many shows in western New York and Ontario Provence.
I don't think he has a web site but this his email

jack_pearce4@sympatico.ca

There is a guy from Rochester, NY, Bill Lowe, that also does this but I don't have his contact info at this time.

The emergency vehicles in this pic were all done by Bill Lowe. Most of his vehicles have working headlights, tailights, and flashing lights where appropriate.

As far as I know, the only O-Gauge model road vehicles that have operating headlights are made by Kaidiwei, the Chinese company that makes those nifty cranes andt rucks and such that Menards has started offering. I have a 1:50 or 1:55 or so Kaidiwei airport foam-sprayer fire engine I bought through Amazon or Ali Baba, not sure which, they made that has operating headlights, flashing cab-top light, and siren. However not all Kaidiwei firetrucks and certainly not all the other trucks (if any) they make have operating lights that I know of, and I don't know which do, other than the one I have (which I bought not knowing it had operating lights. Surprised the dickens out of me when they and the siren came on automatically the first time I touched it).

 

Lights from Evans Design, as others have mentioned, are great to work with.

 

They make a huge impact on any layout. Visitors are immediately attracted to them. I have several by Jack Pearce, the Master of lighted vehicles.

 

These cars were lit using Evans Designs LEDs.

 

One of Jack Pearce's gems.

Needless to say, "doctoring" O scale vehicles for lights is a WHOLE BUNCH easier than HO scale.
Just my two cents,

Thank you all for your replies! I have sent off an email to Jack Pierce--waiting to hear back. It's curious to me that someone has not developed a strong cottage industry in offering a wide array of lighted cars and trucks with passenger. It does look like a fun project to take on but I am up to my eyeballs in fun train projects, and unfortunately my time for my trains is very limited.

Thanks again.

See my post. Both guys produce these cars. Here is Bill Lowe's contact info. He tells me he is 6 months behind doing custom orders though.

I've electrified a few cars, some are fairly easy, others are a major PITA. I suspect the guys that do volumes of these select the ones that are easy to light up.
