Hello, I recently purchased a UM 200 Renegade. It's a Chinese cruiser motorcycle, and my daily driver. I have noticed that the headlight is 'sufficient' at best with the revs up, but at idle or while coasting, it is not bright enough. I guess now you're thinking, just flip the high beams. But because the winding roads and constant traffic in the opposite direction, I need the beam to be close and bright. The situation is that the low is too dim and the high is too far away. It uses a weird 35w/35w bulb that is not used in the US. So just swapping bulbs won't work. I was thinking that maybe I could convert a Coast PX25 LED flashlight into a decent headlight. With new batteries, it is BRIGHT, and the small projector lens it comes with really scatters the light in a pattern that should be acceptable for road use. Also, the fact that it will pull less wattage is a plus.
I want to know what you guys think, and what I'll need to buy to make it work in terms of capacitors, fuses, heatsink, etc. I plan to modify the headlight base to accept the LED module and lens. All input is welcome.
