First you need to check the voltage of your generator and your lights. Some lights are meant to be hooked up in parallell, while other expect a series connection. If you have the same voltage stamped on the generator as
on the bulbs then it's for parallell hookup. Then you need to choose between running one or two leads. It is possible to run one lead only, and use the frame of the bike as a common ground, but I'd recommend against it. So attach one wire to each of the terminals on the generator, run them up to the front light and attach to the terminals there. Then repeat process for the rear light. Make sure the cable is properly secured al the way so that it can't get tangled in any moving parts.

Where can you find generator lights for bicycles in stores?
Go to a bicycle shop, or the bicycle accessories aisle on a big department store and ask a clerk for bicycle dynamo.
What is a bicycle dynamos?
A dynamo is a type of electrical generator. On a bicycle it is in contact with the wheels, so that it spins when the bike is moving. That spinning is turned into electricity, which can be used to power bicycle lights.
A wind turbine generator is similar to a on a bicycle.?

Can you convert rotational motion of a bicycle wheel into electrical energy?
Yes, it is possible to convert the rotational motion of a bicycle wheel into electrical energy using a device called a dynamo. A dynamo is a small generator that contains magnets and a coil of wire. When the bicycle wheel turns, it spins the dynamo, generating electricity that can be used to power lights or charge batteries.
How do you charge the battery using bicycle?
You'd need a bicycle with a generator, and then some adaption electronics to turn the electricity from the generator into something that can be used for battery charging.
How do you install bicycle lights?
These bicycle lights are really easy to install on to your bike See link below
How can one get bicycle lights?
One can purchase bicycle lights from a number of places. They can be purchased from Amazon, ebay, Revolights or Walmart. They should be easy to fit to any bicycle.
Which part of a power station is like a dynamo in your bicycle?
The generator
How do you wire license plate lights on a gas scooter?
to wire the license plate lights you must have lights and wire them to the scooter.
Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?
There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)
What is a generator made from?
Magnets and wire.
Why do bike lights get brighter when pedal faster?
If the lights are powered by a generator driven by the wheel, then you get more power from the generator the faster the wheels spin.
