EDIT: I later discovered that plugging the 8pin decoder plug the other way around would have solved both the direction and lighting problems, and saved me a lot of programming. Flipping the plug around reverses the polarity to both the track and the motor, and swaps the front and rear lights. Oh well at least now I know that for next time.
