    lights for 200x winter night riding...

    So i see these LEDs at autozone.. 3 of them... they say 12 volt.... 86 200x light systems are 12 volt right???? would these work?? i think it would look cool.. put one under the front fender and 2 in the rear fenders.. kind-of an underglow setup like a car.... and does anyone know what kind of blub the rear taillight is??? mine was missing when i got it, never noticed it though.. now that its getting dark earlier, night riding is a must.... any help would be appreciated...

    The only problem i can see is the fact theres no DC current going to you OEM head light. LED'S require 100 percent true DC current, if you can find a why to convert the AC power to DC power your in luck, A Diode on one of the wires may help here too. Look on the plus side if you can get it to work, you can pretty much put on as many as you want (to a limit) because they suck up VERY little amp's and wattage. Lets face it LEDS are here to stay, they last longer, and use alot less then original bulbs of it size ...

    I found on cardomain.com they had 4 small LED lights for like $8 so I bought some.
    I had wanted a whip on my trike like tey have a the dunes, so I put a CB whip on my grabbar. then I ran the LEDs to the top of the whip and hooked the wires up to my tailight wires. Also I took out the build in the tailight and put 2 LEDs there and with all 4 of them wired up to my stock tailight wire, they seemed to work perfectly.

    if your trike has a batt its already converting a/c to d/c so you can do that w/o any problem for the 200x you need a voltage reglator/recetifer (spelling?)
