I have. Mine are fixed into an auxiliary circuit, so they only work when the bike is running. LED's are great for 'look. I'm here' type lights, but they just don't get the same light out onto the road as a good old bulb. Mine are the VisionX (or is it XVision?), reported as one of the best - and I think they suck! Way over priced and just don't get enough light out.

I did that too. Some folk swear by it, but my advice would be to keep the original sprocket for when you want to change back. I found it didn't really give any benefit and at higher speeds the bike was using way too much juice. We had too bikes of similar build, with similar riders going the same places for over a week. The bike with the tooth missing was using about a litre more on each fill up. To be honest, it's better (if more expensive) to change the air filter (DNA) and can (MTC) and you release the real power.

Behind the little cover (two hex screws and it pulls off), there is a green (or at least it is in the UK!) connector with nothing attached - there's your power. You'll probably need to cut the connector and replace, as many searches have failed to identify a supplier for the male end of it.
