Hey guys! Just joined the forum because I looked around and couldn't find what I was looking for in regards to using an led light bar on an atc185s. I have one with no headlight at all and wanted to use an LED bar since they're really bright and relatively cheap. Will this be as easy as I think (connect a wire with power to the green on the light and ground to ground) or will it be a little more difficult? Maybe I need a certain wattage, fuses, etc. Never used an LED bar before or messed with lighting on anything without a battery so I need help! Thanks, Justin.

you will need a regulator/rectifier to change the voltage coming off the lighting coil from ac to dc

In addition to the suggestion above, if your lighting coil is original, you may want to consider a more powerful replacement such as this one from rickystator: http://www.rickystator.com/product/stators/honda/honda-atc185-75-watt-lighting-coil-all-years

A small, efficient battery for further power stabilization and the ability to run the light without the engine running wouldn't be a bad idea either.
