Default Re: lights using the white wire that really work

Good ideas and right conclusions guy's

Had it on my bike for over 2 wks and still going strong!

Here's what I did, I took a broken Bel Light, like a previous post and gutted the board with the 2 leds on it. Figured what side was - and which + by the old battery configuration (in the housing).

put led board minus the light bulb and switch back in housing, soldered white wire to positive soldered another wire to other side (to run power to the tail light).

The Bel tail light was gutted of it's leds ( to many!) I modified it to hold 1 single LED out of a Newer Mercedes tail light. You could probably un solder one of the LEDS from the original light circut and modify the lamp (put it in the center).

The resistors in the headlight led circut must be good enough to steady the current to the tail light, it works great.

I ran power from the headlight to the + side of the LED in the Tail Lamp and the - Side of the tail light LED to ground on the bike!

Let me know what you think of these instructions!!!

Bike starts and runs fine w/ constant power to lamps.
