Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Has anyone looked at figuring out how to mount something like a magic shine bike light inside the spree light? I'm trying to find a good solution even if it runs on external power of its own... this is what I'm wondering about:

Thoughts? I've seen the HID mod option, I'm just trying to find a good LED option.

Cool idea. It runs off (x2) e-cig batteries. Lol. I have that "as seen on tv" tac light. It can run off the same. Very powerful light. This one u linked is even more bright. Only prob is if u run outta juice on a long trip, unless u rig a charging system or carry (x2) extra batteries, which they're only 10-$15 ea. Not sure how much sight distance u will get. If anything add along with stock head lamp.

Those batteries are also the same cells in some older Dell laptop batteries (which I have a ton of! I'm an IT guy...) and can rig something up to hold maybe 6 or 8 of them to run that sucker for a long time and have an extra pack so they can charge while I am using the other one... We shall see if I bite the bullet and pick one up. I am just trying to get the Spree with the SE50 going closer to 50MPH for my longer commute starting in a couple of months. Then I will need a light to help in the shorter days.

You could add up the batteries it takes to see what voltage it runs on...I'm guessing like 3 volts. If so, you could make a dc-to-dc converter from 12v to 3v to run it.

They run 3.7 volts.

Do you know what current? If so I think you might just be able to use a heat-resistant resistor

I think your right on with the DC to DC converter, should be easy to do that way, I just need to figure out how to mount that sucker in the headlight.

I have put two led lights in my stock spree headlight. Wired through a relay so when I turn the key they come on.

Gearhart, how do they perform? Can you point me to some specifics? Like what LEDs you used and how you wired up the relay?

Thanks!

I personally use h10 led headlight bulbs, they fit into the stock headlight nicely.

They are little 1 1/2-2 inch trail light that you can buy on Amazon and eBay. They perform Amazing and are super bright. As for wiring I just run them right to the battery as they are DC. I also wire a relay inline to the ignition so when the ignition turns on they get power, you can just as easily wire them to a switch. Look in my "scooter collection" thread, I have them molded into the stock headlights in my spree and elite.
