It doesn't work like that. Not even close.

The CDI unit is not involved in any way, shape or form in generating power to run lighting.

All electrical power comes from coil(s) on the "stator", which is under the flywheel. All bikes will have a coil that is used to generate the spark. Some bikes have an additional coil that is used to generate power for lights, battery charging, etc.

It is rather rare for a bike that did not come equipped with lights from the factory to have the additional coil (usually referred to as the lighting coil). Such a coil can be added as an aftermarket upgrade, however.

But you need more than just the coil, you also need a voltage regulato.

I know there are some headlights that run off led's and a small battery, I'm trying to find one myself!

You can get battery operated helmet lights that work pretty good. Their not cheap, however.
