Does that light board have more than 2 LEDs on it (ditch lights maybe)? I'm wondering because it seems to have quite a few ancillary components for just 2 LEDs.

Honestly cannot recall, but there are at these three 'light tubes' going forward from it, two of which are for the ditchlights.

Front has four LED's. Hard to see in pics but it's one above and three below. Rear is single LED mounted on top of board (no pic).

Impressive lighting package.  That also explains the LED arrangement on the ESU Sound decoder designed for drop-in fit.
