I want to add internal lighting into an HO scale commuter car. I want to simulate realistic lighting, not just stringing light bulbs into a coach. Where can I find long LED or incandescent light tubes that I can mount inside the top of a coach with contact wipers that will hang down in the middle? Again I am looking for a long LED or incandescent HO scale light in form of a tube. If not, how can I kitbash a glass or strong tube that lights up?
Rapido’s EZ-Peezee lighting kits will fit your bill perfectly.

The Rapido light strips are battery-powered. Does anyone have a feeling yet for how long the batteries last? Are they standard commercial batteries, like AAA?
If the batteries last a year or so in normal use (not impossible, since the lighting looks like it’s LEDs) then this would be a viable option. On the other hand, if they require replacement after every few hours of running, then the expense of power wipes is going to be a better option in the long run.
They’re watch battery and shoul last for quite a whle
