Adding capacitance to Kato passenger car lighting kits

Thanks Pete for your time and great effort. I now understand how the car I showed was wired.

Sure,  I can't guarantee that the circuit you saw was identical to what I presented, but it is likely similar.

That may be true Pete,but now I know how to wire it properly, so I am not afraid of dissecting this job "to learn".

I'm glad to be of service Carl.  I only did some bench testing of these circuits.  When you guys build and install them in your cars let me know how well they work.   You could even try them with lower value capacitance (like 100 µF) and see if that is sufficient to reduce the flicker.

Pete, how would using a 470 ohm resistor instead of 100 affect this circuit? Increase the time to charge???
