Hello All,
I have been experimenting with LED headlights. As we all know the Mini 6 Motoplat has weak lighting at best. I have recently been rewinding them for 12 volts. Somewhat of an improvement but with the limitation of 4 coils,6 magnets, and a small surface area it still is not sufficent at idle. Now the LED bulbs have evolved to the point where they are equal to a 40 watt incandecent with 1/4 the current draw. I have tried two types. One was a spot light the other a bulb type. The bulb type works great in a CEV shell. Here's a couple of photos.

I can steer you in the right direction if you wish to make your own or I can provide a 4 3/4" sealed beam for you.
Just contact me off list at:
