If you mean the bare LEDs, then yes, that's how all LEDs work--they are current-driven devices, that also have a maximum voltage that can be across them (because they "short out" the rest of it, just like other diodes).
LED simply means Light Emitting Diode , so like other diodes they ahve a "forward voltage drop" (Vf), that is their voltage "requirement". If you don't have at least that voltage an LED won't light up properly, and if you have more htan that voltage you must have a resistor in series with the LED to "absorb" the excess.
Then they *also* have a maximum current thru them (like other diodes) before damaging them, and a minimum current to generate the light you want. The more current, the more light, up to the maximum current limit.
You can use just a resistor of sufficient wattage capability in series with an LED to limit it's current, but when you do that you must size the resistor so that a the maximum fully-charged battery voltage input it won't allow more current thru the LED than it can handle. And then as the battery voltage drops, the current thru the LED drops, and thus it's brightness too.
To figure out the resistor value you subtract the Vf (forward voltage drop) of the LED from the max battery voltage to get the voltage across the resistor. Then use the Vf and the desired current thru the LED (which will be the same as that thru the resistor) to calculate the needed resistance and wattage of the resistor, using Ohm's law.
Alternately, you can buy (or design/build) a driver board for the size/type of LED and battery voltage range you have, which will work better and be more efficient than the resistor method.
Some of the drivers also have brightness selection inputs too, or flashing modes, etc., which could be handy. For instance, you could have a "road/traffic" brightness that's a lot dimmer, and an "offroad/no traffic" brightness that is the full output that would otherwise blind oncoming traffic, but make it a lot easier to see in some situations.
(you can do that with resistors too but you have to have two different ones and a switch between them, or parallel two identical ones for Bright and disconnect one for Dim).
