I picked up some leds from Bachmann that are universal, but haven't found any specs on them in regards to voltage and color coding on the wiring, hookup info. Any help? the wires are yellow and white

For LEDs in general:
I use a 9V battery, and 1K ohm resistor on the negative pole, to test the LEDs. Testing the LED, in this case, will also tell you which lead in the positive (+) one.
If you are replacing an LED in a Bachmann locomotive, there is likely resistor hard wired into the PCB. But you should put eyes on the resistor on the board, just to make sure.
The board will also have (+/-) marking for the headlight wires. From there, you will have to trace the wiring back to the headlight to ensure the color-coding, if any, matches back to the headlight.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Jonathan

A new LED has a long lead and a short lead.
The long one is +
generic led voltage is 1.5V and consumes 0.02 Ampere.
That said , colour emitting leds have different voltage per colour.

If you hooked it up to your power supply without a resistor it probably has died already.
A LED is a LED regardless brand.
you always have to use a resistor.
I usually use 1 Kilo Ohm colourcode brown black red or 102
