Safe to use Bachmann lighted Amfleet cars on DCC?

Having recently converted to Bachmann EZ-Command DCC, I thought I should go through my passenger equipment to determine if it is safe to use on the higher AC voltage of DCC systems. I have noticed that many aftermarket car lighting systems make a distinction between those for DC vs. DCC.

Does anyone know if the Amfleet car lighting is usable on DCC or what the max voltage is of the bulbs?  I don't really want to disassemble the car and look at the lighting and hookup and see if there is a board with limiting resistors or anything.  And, I'd rather not have them burn out prematurely!

Does anyone know or dealt with this issue themselves?  TIA.
