MOPED 12 VOLT WIRING
To run LED lights a plexiglass bracket is made into a mount so that nothing can touch ground. Then take the power wire from the 12 volts treats lighting coil and connect one end to a bridge rectifier. The second connection on the rectifier gets ran to a ground connection. Next from the rectifier connections are made to a 12 volt DC voltage regulator. Positive lead of the rectifier connect to the positive lead on the regulator. The negative lead form rectifier to the negative connection on the regulator.
An important note for running LED lights is to put a capacitor across the positive and negative between the rectifier and the regulator. This helps filter and smooth the DC signal so that your lights don’t flicker. The flickering effect causes the LED lights to burn out.
The final step is to connect the positive connections from the lights to the positive connection on the regulator. Do the same for the negative wires. It is important to not ground the negative to the frame and to ground it to the negative connection on the regulator.
