PAGE 7 of 8 - Motorcycle Harness
[ Motorcycle Harness ]
To accomplish the particular project i had to made some mods to motocycle harness. I wiil soon post the photos the schematic and my comments for the mod.

I made the led "bulb" according to your idea (thans again) but driven it with a 10w led driver and not your driver, but this way i only have 1 beam, cause could not figure out how connect 4 cables to 5 jumpers (ok the two are the led out) lol.
Thanks anyway. You are very helpful.

There are 7 pins
2 for the input 12-14,5v (Bebause of the alternator)
2 for the led and
3 for the selection of the beam (High,Low Half pin is the common).

My question was on the connections from the 3 oem cables (earth,high,low beam) to the pcb pins, as far as i can see, there is an extra input on the board, have you driven a new 12v cable or have i understood wrong?
Thanks in advance and for the quick reply.
Respect

If i have undrestand you correctly, you mean that... "why not to place the led on the yamaha's bulb socket? " If is that so, then i will answer you that you will face a ploblem which is blinding other drivers.
With the aluminium rod i used i have made a 45 degrees corner approximately and you avoid blinding other drives....Please if you meant something else post again.

Since at the oem bulb socket, are 3connections (low,high,earth), have you driven a different,new one for the Vin? Would'n be a way to use only the oem connections?
Thank you

So.... the more the better!!! :-)

Another question about the transistor , I saw you used two types one with plastic cover (TO92) and one with metal (TO18). Were they 2N2222 and BC107 or something else (I do not know if there is a difference)?
I took the advice of Kam and yours and I will use buck convectors, so I believe the dissipation will be less so I think the TO92 will be nice.
The resistances you choose are rated 1/2 watt?
P.S. I will have more question later!!!

Well Jp1 is the input of the circuit.Is where you connect the power from your battery (Jp1 pin1 pin2-).
Jp2 is the output where you connect the led (Jp2 pin1 pin2-).
And finnaly Jp3 is the selection switch for the 2 scales of the led brightness.
So there you will have to connect the switch on your left hand where you can select the 2 scales.If you wire the middle one with one of the two resistors you will notice the brightness changes according the value of the selected resistor.
Yes for the rear led i used 3w where i have it working on half when i do not press break....
I have also noticed your observation for the front led. I was thinking of placing a small fan for cooling it down.But after few experiments i ended that it gets very hot on the big scale where is not always "on".My considarations wasn't for the plastics but for the led itself (Reducing his life dramatically)the incadescent lamp was getting much hotter that the led's heatsink.Also remember that if you place a fan you can increase the wattage of the led.Also if you are planning to add a fan don't forget to make some big holes to the surrounding plastic.
"Look to the picture with the comment " The heatsinks i used taken from a broken tv. (Notice the one mosfet with the 7806.)""on led driver page.

I am trying to do something like yours to test it but at your Led Driver Pcb I cannot understand where to connect jp1,2,3.
I can understand that this pcb with the 3.3 and 1.2 ohm resistors are for the front light of 10w.
For the red rear light did you use 3watt led?
The front led heatsink is it getting very hot, I am wondering about the plastics around the light.
Thank you
P.S. I m waiting the rest of the worklog!!!

Its in a "beta mode" right now... :-)
At 4 March 2013, 8:01:27 user Panagiotis Kalogeris wrote: [reply @ Panagiotis Kalogeris]I will post the circuit diagram as soon as possible...( i must draw it first :-) ) As for the high and the low beam here's what i did....For the low beam, i drive the led with current consumption around 300ma and for the high beam i drive the led with current consumption around 900ma.Believe me it acts like a high beam because of the lumens that produces and of course without blinding other drivers......
