I don't think that's going to be possible from a battery. I wanted to use a battery too but with these type of bulbs I'm thinking plug-in power supply will be necessary.
Heres what i'm thinking at present.Still wanna power from a battery rather than an external source.I don't know what you call it,series or parallel,but joining two 9V batt's in whatever way it is to get 18V.Then use a resistor or whatever it is that's needed to bring it back to 12v output from the two batt's.Another thing to think about is the amout of degree the light is thrown,something with a 180 degree i think would be best?Afterall,we want to light the exhaust bell's not have a torch with a narrow beam.The only thing that may be a concern is how much heat a 12V LED put's out.As you know yourself there,these engine bell's are pretty damn thin and won't take much heat to distort them.
