WOW...thanks for all the reponces...not to sound 13(I'm 50 actually...lol) or anything but this is great! Hmmm...As for using the original modulating device...I think it somehow responds to wattage not voltage...? I don't know? But..I will bore you with history...I had it running on my...

So..I'm guessing that it best that I buy a LED for this specific purpose and design it for that LED etc. So..I'm putting this back in your court I'm afraid...suggestions and solutions?

12 volt...55 watt bulbs...I tried a 24 watt bulb and it wouldn't modulate it correctly and it wasn't bright enough...the 55 watt bulb uses too much juice for my bike to handle when everything else is added to it. This is why I'm thinking LEDs...

OR...design a modualtor to work a store bought LED...is that easier? If I buy an already maufactured LED light can you design a circuit to modulate it? I can build it...just not design it...as long as you layout the parts etc. Thanks

Yes thanks for your reply...it is a very difficult thing to replicate as to the letter of the law...Yes you can buy a modulating headlight and I did, but that only works on a halegen bulb not HIDs. So..I'm back to my request...can someone help a complete dummy design a circuit to replicate as...

Another question about LEDs the super brite ones...What will flashing or modulating them do to their life span? Also..would it be best to make my own or buy a store bought light in this reguard? Thanks again

Thanks for the reply...can you suggest a super bright led or a collection that would do what I need done? Is there a specific type of LED that would do what I need better than others? Or...would a group generate the better light source to see? Like I said originally...I'm totally lost at this...

OK...I am a total noob when discussing anything electrical...I am more at home in the mechanical side of life. Sorry...lol What my project is...is I would like to replicate a modulating headlight from a motorcycle by using very strong, bright LEDs. I ride a bike and used to use the halegen bulb...
