Hi everyone,
Does anybody know a know a good website for after market LED lamps, I have been digging around and they seem pretty hard to find online.
Ultimately I would like (no pun intended) to convert all the indicators, the headlight, tail light, directionals and the running lamps on the front fairing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, jon

Couple of thoughts on the LIKE's lights:
Didn't have much luck with LED acorn lights in place of front running lights. Cheap lights began fail fairly soon...started blinking - not good to have an unintentional turn signal on!
Also, these acorn bulbs can be accessed from under front leg sheild and by removing clipped in black panels inside front glove box.
I went back to 5W amber acorn bulbs in front - 3W is standard I think.
Tailblazer makes a pulsing brake bulb in LED and halogen. Plug and play.
Cyclepedia.com has an on-line manual for the LIKE200i.

buddy of mine thought his Chinese scooter head lights weren't bright enough so he rigged up a couple of 55W halogens in their place. Melted everything in there. Lamp holders and lens. Funny

Yeah, that shoulda worked. °¿°
You know, I think my little 2018 Piaggio and 2012 LIKE200i have the same headlight bulbs. But, the Piaggio is so much brighter as I ride at night. Housing design, I guess?

Philips have a 21/5 watt tail light globe that is led. I have just put one in my Like.

Good morning Paul,
Please give us your thougjts on the new bulb.
Does it run hotter?
Noticeably brighter?
A photo perhaps?
Thanks, Stig

Hi Stig. I will take a couple of photos over the next couple of days (daylight and night time) and give a report then.

I bought a Chinese led headlight from ebay that was recommended by another forum member. There is a thread on it in the Like section. Occasionally, I can hear the fan slowing down, so who knows when it will go out. For $17.00 each, l bought two.
I replaced the leg shield lights with T10 led lights from amazon. They push right into the same plug. Doing the turn signal stalk lights would be a mess, needing other parts.
I believe i posted a picture of both of my Likes, one with stock lights and the other with LEDs.
There is a world of difference.

Found it.

Thanks Lido,
Do they make the two leg shield lights in amber?
A white headlight flanked by a pair of amber lights lets folks know for certain that a 2 wheel something is approaching.

If I recall, I saw them in amber last year as well. I am still thinking of looking into them for a nicer look.

Wow, quite the difference Lido,
I'll look into these.
Thanks, Jon

I tried to take photos of the led tail light but unfortunately they did not really show much. I am happy with it though.
