Insane bright LEDs for da rig

[RD Slyter]

So check this out. I have a set of 14 stupid bright lights each containing 34 military grade LEDs that have been sitting in my garage. They are designed for a Striker Armored Vehicle and are about 4"x 6" big.  I have all the wiring and even its own switch box to controle individual "zones" of 2 lights each.
Here's the hang up, it's designed to run off of a 24 volt system. I attempted to get at least one zone of 2 working on my old rig, but could never get them to fire up. I admit, I am by NO means savey with electrical anything that I cant just plug into a wall, so I guess my question would be is there a way to get this to work on a 12 volt system? I'm sure it would work just fine and I just wired it stupid or something when I tried last time.
 Suggestions?
On a side note, There is no way I am going to be able to mount all of these things onto my rig, so if I can get these to working I mite have some for sale or something. Like $20 or so for a set of 2 because at most I'll use 4 on mine. Anyone who can give me a way to get these running, I'll give you a set. Deal?  {cheers2}

If you had 2 - 12 volt batteries, but I don't know anyway to make them work on a 12v system..

but they will look awesome on my golf cart! lol

They make DC to DC booster converters for 12 to 24 volt configurations with screw type terminals. They are going to be a little pricey and require a little bit of room. But if your set on running those lights that would probably be your best option. Hope this helped some

Who makes them? I bet it's cheaper than buying lights.

Quick search turned this up.  Looks like boats use them for lighting.

If that works, i might grab the extras you have.

If it does, then definitely ;D

There is a couple of options (like these). Its like any other part, just have to do some research and decide what would be best for you.

My plan is 2 on either side of the windshield, 2 on the bumper, and 2 underneath. IF I can get it to work of course.
