I added a gas tank to my edge and am now trying to install an led brake light. It is 12v DC and already tested the light with a 12v battery. I am trying to wire this thing in and it's not working. I've tried different combos and still nothing. Any one alse have this issue?

It should flicker though. The flicker will be the same as 1/2 RPMs.

Put just a single diode inline with it and see if that works. Try the diode in both directions.

If that does work and you want it to not flicker, then BC_Dan's correct, a bridge rectifier and a capacitor would smooth it out.

The pink area is just the bridge rectifier and capacitor. Which would produce a DC pulse with no huge drops. You wouldn't even notice the very very slight flicker.

The rest of that is a full regulator, if you needed a good steady 12-15 volts (adjustable).

There is another way to make a regulator that is a bit easier. It uses an LM715 regulator. Can even use a different form factor that can get up to 5 amps.
