LED Motorcycle Headlight

Step 6 Part 2: High Power LED "High Beam"

If you want even more intensity from your LED headlight you can add a High Power LED. These are available in outputs ranging from 100 to even 600 lumens! The LED I chose is a Luxeon Endor Rebel rated for 430 lumens at @ 7.5 watts.
You can order them ledsupply.com which also stocks the optics for them if you want a certain output beam.

1. High Power LED
2. Lens (optional)

Part 2: Step 1
I tore a heatsink off of an antiquated video card, sanded the base, then drilled and tapped holes for mounting the heatsink and retaining the LED onto the heatsink.

The LED and lens are held in place by the mounting screws.
