Thread: headlight wiring

so last night i was messing around with the wireing and hooked up a headlight to some of the wires. I did get it to work but when i reved up the engine the headlight bulb blew out. is there a way to hook a light up to the wiring? i have a wireing harness on the bike but i dont have the connections for the lights.

Standard First Question:

Do you have a good battery properly installed and connected?

I assume you converted bike to 12v,did you replace original bulb with a 12v ?

i dont have a battery in it and its a new engine so i guess its putting out 12 volts, and the headlight that was in it when it blew was a 12v light bulb. the only thing i can think is the wires i hooked the light to were the wires that are suppose to go to the battery? The light blew when i reved the motor up. so it was probably getting more than 12 volts????
