I'll probably not be much help, Sean, as the only lighting on my layout is what's in the ceiling, lighting the room.
However, I have recently done a DCC installation (dead rail, actually) for a friend, and the instructions note that the LEDs for the headlight and back-up light each require a 470 ohm resistor. I can't say if that value is appropriate for DC or not, but I'm pretty sure that you'll need a resistor (or resistors) for your ditch lights.
If there's no information included with the Rapido ditch lights, (I've read that the proper resistors are on the motherboard, but don't know if that item was included with your ditchlights) I'd suggest contacting Rapido, as they're usually quite helpful. There's a link HERE.
