Is there a way to make a car headlight properly work on a 1983 honda atc?

Isn't it a voltage issue? I know that on some trikes, they are only 6 volt systems.

You need 12V DC to make them work.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Atc bulb has three wires. Auto buld(with high beams) has three wires. Shouldn't be too hard to figure it out. Use a test light to find the two power supplies to low and high beams and the other should be the switch. I don't know haw many amps the auto bulbs draw, that could be a problem.

I am running a halogen H4 (i believe) in my BR right now... Much brighter, and cheaper thatn the honda bulb...

Someone gave me a 6 volt led light for my ct90 headlight.

It's about 5 " in diameter and pretty darn bright with a super marginal charging system
