Still needs adjustment. At 14v the LEDs burn out in the sim. Charging system on a motorcycle is higher than that. If you want the LEDs to be a lot brighter, use a regulated power circuit and a PWM circuit to power the LEDs. :)

You can not just parallel leds. Each led must have its own resistor

In *a few* circuits you can, but matching LEDs should be used. This circuit actually looks similar to a very cheap LED worklight i just bought to tear apart. :)

I got a worklight for $5.99 and harvested 27 bright white LEDs, a magnet, three AAA batts, a two-way pushbutton switch and I can put the plastic housing back together to use as a project box for something else. Anyway, 24 of the LEDs ran in parallel using a single wire-wrapped resistor (1.5uH @ 1.6ohm). So yeah it's not impossible..

Running 15 leds not in parallel is a whole lotta wires floating around under the plastic on the bike.
