The headlights on most scoots are DC. You can place a 1000uF cap across the headlight + and ground terminals and read the DC voltage without the 'ripple' waveform that confuses most voltmeters and their operators. The regulated voltage should be 13.8-14.2VDC. Some people say the headlight voltage isn't regulated, -if so headlight bulbs would blow like old fashioned flash bulbs. The power supply regulator for most decent LED lights should have it's own rectifier. There is no need to add another rectifier. Most LED lights are specified to operate from around 10-30VDC. If you find one that says it is rated for 12VDC only don't buy it. The lights shown above with their flexible heatsink and machined aluminum mount is one of the better designs I have seen. I have seen some with an in/out adjustment for focus. I have my doubts about the units with tiny fans to keep them cool. The 'lumen' output specs for the China made LED units are all lies. All the lies will change next week. Cool, i like having FrankenMech's seal-of-approval on these things. own rectifier. got it. 12VDC only. bad. almost all lumen output is missing a 0 behind the numbers. check.

i have that exact set of headlights, and other then wiring the lights to run on DC power they work really well. mind ya dont look at them directly, they will almost blind you. what manu/model did you get for H4? I just found those random pics...

spaz and 90GTVert has most diverse interest in music... I think that's brilliant.

I did search, but it's difficult to find a definitive answer (I know...) to which is BEST plug-n-play for H4 LED headlight bulbs (and it doesn't help matters that new technology for LED is like every 3 or 6 months). I want to get the better quality, but don't want to spend $100 for "just" bulbs...
What do yous youts recommend? Any new news on latest and greatest??
sim. to this...

For me, being in such a rural area, I think getting LEDs would be best, especially since there aren't even street lamps here !! were UNINCORPARATED. But yes, if living in a big city, definitely would be drawing attention. I'm not sure if underglow on street bikes are legal here.... it's actually illegal here to have underglow on cars.
Are you far from Vancouver? I'm guessing your area is super nice for star gazing, and I bet you could see the Milky Way!! We have too much light pollution here, obviously... sigh
