Yes converting the Headlight to DC was super simple. Just making another lead on the brown wire from the ignition switch and running it into the Yellow wire on the headlight switch. I had it on the AC circuit originally, but there was really bad flicker with the LED, which I figured was really bad for the light itself. I also bought a relay timer I am going to attempt to wire into the system so that the Headlight is only on when the engine is running, or for 15 seconds after it is turned off. I also connected the White wire to the Yellow/white wire so that the regulator was still in the circuit.

I just wanted to drop in and say thanks for all the info in this thread! I picked up a '77 DT250 for cheap a few months ago, and have been working on getting it back on the road. I wanted to updated the lighting, and found this thread. I picked up the SH570-12 Reg/Rect and the Motobatt MB3U, as well as all LED signals, relay and head/taillight. Finally got it all wired up and it all works as it should! I even got the 30/45w LED headlight to work with no issues off the dc/battery circuit, and still have enough power to keep the battery charged with no issues! Have a Trail tech Vapor wired in as well with a working indicator dashboard! Here is a short clip of it running! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cReT6Znp1g0
