[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 184035, member: 8785"] Late to the party. I don't multi task as well as in times past. Never looked at a clone wiring diagram before but this one looks interesting and odd. Looks like the HL & TL both run off of AC and all other lamps run off of DC/battery? Do you know if the "Rectifier Assembly is just a rectifier or a rectifier & regulator? Going out on a limb here, but if the diagram is correct, then the battery is acting as a voltage regulator for the HL & TL as well...kinda/sorta. It's getting a ground connection thru one of the diodes in the bridge (if it's just a bridge). I may be way out the weeds here so don't take my comments as the absolute truth. To many "ifs" to know for sure. If you really want to know for sure, you'll need to disconnect the plug from the stator and check Y & W wires to see if there is a ground connection. You may be able to check the "Rectifier Assy" with an ohmmeter as well and determine what It is. Maybe post a pic of this widget? Regardless, the lighting coil is providing enough juice for the lamps, charging and the HL & TL so I don't know of any reason why you would have a problem running an LED HL from the battery. If anything, an LED HL will reduce the load on the stator quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
