I have seen them before on a couple bikes. But I have no idea where to look for them. I tried surfing the web but no luck!

Being an LED bulb, you can run it off any voltage you want- just make sure the resistor is the right size and value.

So what do I need to make this light work on my bike, I dont want it to connect to the white wire.

Led light, 12v battery, what else???

Im no electrician. Should I get those 2 things first.??

Should I get a 6v or a 12v rechargable battery??

I use a 12v 7ah battery with a 12v 20w halogen bulb in the front light and a 6 led marker light for the tail
I get approx 3 hrs of very bright light before it needs to be trickle charged
