Am I misremembering that the Miller gen. sets are 3 volts.
I haven't looked at one in a long time, are they 6 volts?
In any case, thanks for the reminder to check the voltage before I order the bulbs.
 
Thank you!

I decided to add a full wave bridge rectifier to my headlight circuit. This will provide the headlights with DC voltage on both halves of the AC cycle. To accomplish this I needed to insulate the bicycles factory headlight bracket from the headlights. To facilitate this I used a section of 1 1/2" heat shrink tubing and my wife's hot air gun, to shrink the tubing over the slopped section of the bicycle's headlight bracket.

Then I ordered both a 25' length of dual red/black 18 gauge hook-up wire and the full wave bridge rectifier kit from e-bay.

I also ordered a project box to mount the circuit board and wiring into.

I was wondering about how much low speed flicker there would be with the half wave rectifying.
I see your kit includes a capacitor. That will help smooth the output and kill the flicker.
I didn't know that the Miller generators were AC output.
 
You are correct! With a half wave rectifier, you will get flicker while the bike is traveling less than 3 MPH. With the full wave bridge rectifier and filter capacitor, their is no flicker at all! That is why I chose to use the full wave bridge rectifier circuit.
