Busch Chevy truck voltage

[Overmod]

Get some batteries.  One battery is 1.5 volts.  2 in series is 3 volts, and so on.  Keep adding batteries until you're happy with the level. 

It's been noted, I think by Mel among others, that a 'realistic' level of head and taillight illumination is much lower than 'as advertised'.  In fact I think Mel had a post in which he gave specific levels for a particular vehicle type; that might be a starting place.  I think the advice about starting with one battery ... in fact you might start with a relatively tired used battery first ... will rapidly get you to the most 'effective' voltage range to use with a convenient 'voltage source' plus dropping resistance.

If you have a DC power pack, that can probably supply what you want.  Just start at the low end so you don't burn anything out.

The item listing on some of the retail sites for it say 14-16V AC/DC in the title.

Does anyone know the correct voltage to use for a Busch Chevy pickup truck with working headlights and taillights?
