Re: Vetter headlight ring
the ring twists clockwise approx an inch or so.
Not sure what the current draw would be for a halogen but LED lights are significantly easier on the charging system..

there is a tab on the underside to loosen the lock before you turn it... it can be a PITA to get it off if it has been a long time

LED should look like a small tower in the middle. The elements that illuminate are on the side of that tower. Halogen will have a glass bulb with the gas inside. LED is a lot less power draw but if Halogen it is probably similar to stock. They come in different wattages.
These are halogen Most LEDs look something like this
