I'm going to be making some LED lights for my TwinStar project, and I'd like to compile a list of resources in this thread that others might be able to use, as well as myself, to enable themselves to create a wide range of different types of lights for use wherever LED's are appropriate.

For starters, my TwinStar has a 6V electrical system. I plan on replacing all the lights on the bike, including the headlight, with LEDs. I want to keep the wattage as low as possible, so that the alternator will see as little load as possible, but the lights must still be bright enough to be safe during daylight and night time conditions.

Any input that anyone might have will be greatly appreciated.

I will also update this thread with links and such as I have the time and find the resources.
