Those are the non USA turn signals. You can go under the tupperware and reconnect them.

okay got front cover off once you do it 1st time its not that bad to do..i found the wires to the lights above low beam you said they are the non us version of the blinker strange thing is the wires are wired into the low beam head lights not the blinker system so if i want to use them im gonna have to run wire  up to the blinker system is what your saying

Others have reported that Kymco just cut the wires and taped over them, so if you just reconnect them they should work. I have not opened it my self yet, but will this winter.

  when you install your new lights put one light in and hook up with a battery to see what light is better,  I could hardly tell the differance,  I paid $ 70.00 for that light ,and changed to HID,s after , a waste of time and money,.
