I hope this Lego related post is allowed even if it concerns parts from another
supplier.

I am in the process of building the Lego Creator Expert 10258 London Bus to give
as a gift to someone who drove a bus in London for almost 30 years but is now
retiring.

The bus is almost finished and looks good in itself, but I realize that a lighting
kit would have been the detail that makes the work even more perfect.

Have searched a bit and found different options.
Does anyone have experience with the various kits on the market?
Does the quality differ between different brands?
Are some brands easier to install than others?
Other opinions?

The brands I found that seem serious are:
Lightailing
Game of Bricks
Light My Bricks

Which is why “Off Topic” seems better suited than “LEGO Products” to discuss
things that are not LEGO products and not sold on BrickLink

I have only bought from Light My Bricks. They are fairly easy to install as they
include instructions on how to do it. They are a little more expensive IMO, but
their product is high quality.

Hope this helps.
