There is an led in the back of the reflector to light the numbers so it need a resister to drop the voltage also to hold the bulb socket.

I just finished building two of these headlight kits. One with the side number boards, and the other without (reverse light).
Really look prototype with the golden light produced.

They are excellent and complete kits, and look /work great when done.
Work on 12 Volts. This could be changed if you change the resistor for the internal LED, and the main light bulb.
Be prepared to tap 00-90 holes, and larger. A magnifying glass was helpful.
Might not be the best kits for "beginners," because of their scale design. But totally worth the effort to build.

Thanks for the compliments
A lot of design effort went into this kit. I am now working on the 19 inch version. The light pictured uses a 2 inch brass tube. the 19 inch version uses a 2.250 brass tube.
