lighting coil questions...

background..

I have a 1994 kdx that I am making street legal...

so far I have added a hi/lo headlight from UFO. I have ordered the baja designs LED under the fender tail light.

When I was riding the bike at night with just the UFO headlight and stock tail light the headlight was yellow and dim.

I know that I can upgrade the lighting coil to a 75watt one.


With this new lighting coil putting out the 75watts I figure that I will need to install a voltage regulator to keep from blowing the lights.

so the questions are......

will I need to buy a voltage regulator?

has anyone done this to any year enduro?

Thanks

ok, here is a different question to go along with that....(sorry so long)

I bought a switch that has the kill and hi/lo button....

when I took off the stock light and light switch I traced the switch to the power source..... (yellow wire)

I then pluged the power (yellow wire) into the new switch.

I figured if the old switch hooked there that the new one should as well.....<--or is there a different wire I should of hooked it to??

right now the hi/lo switch works and so does the light....

but here is the thing.....

this new headlight that I hi/lo has a small bulb built in the housing as well. this small bulb just has two wires comming out of it. I wasn't sure how I should hook it in.

What I did was....(and did't work)

I spliced off of the power wire for the switch and hooked it in...

when I started the bike and flpped the lights on it blew the bulb. (not a big deal I really don't need that extra light)

I got to thinking and then hooked the stock light back into the lead that I made for that light and it blew the bulb in that as well.

after that I traced the wire to see where it went...

it looks like it goes directly to the stator/lighting coil.

Since it looks like it goes directly to the lighting coil, it seems that I would need a regulator so the volts don't spike up high and blow the new lights....

Unless I should of hooked the new switch into a different power point.

was it correct of me, when I hooked the new switch into the old light switch power plug?

Thanks
