Need help converting headlight to L.E.D.

[DirtyD]

Hey all, so I recently bought a motorcycle headlight for my bicycle but I need to convert it to l.e.d. for my bicycle. Is there an easy way to do this? I know nothing about electronics.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Search around the How To section. There are a few examples.

Awesome, thank you!

I had a local electronics guy do mine simply because I didn't have the time (newborn). So far so good I just need to find a way to mount the battery in the housing.

I'm in the same "no time-newborn" boat. I'm going to try and get to it today though.

I was impressed and honestly even with two LEDs I don't expect the path to light up. I mainly wanted it to light up for aesthetic purposes.

I've started converting my tractor light to LED in my starsNbars build. So far, I have cut the back off of a sealed beam light and broke down a LED flashlight and laid out the placement. It may still be a week before I get into the soldering and component mounting and such.
