..pic of my guilty at night...
..it's a long dark ride to work every day...
-
Very nice!
Always important to stand out while riding at night.
I just wish the headlight provided better illumination for seeing the road ahead.
-
..there are things you can try with your headlamp...
..different lamps and such, but don't exceed 35 watts...
..itsa bitch to custom fit a different style lamp, than oem, and still get a decent beam thrown if front of your scoot...
..the reflector is designed to work with the shape of the oem, incandescent, dual element lamp...
-
I did just put in a halogen replacement - it is a 12v 35w bulb as like the OEM.
Definitely looks brighter when I look at the scoot from the front, but still doesn't give me as good a look at the road as I would like.
It's worse since some of the streets were just repaved. Really smooth...and really dark a night!
I also saw a xenon bulb that was supposed to work on the scoot - but wasn't going to pay $19.95 plus shipping. Stuck with the $2.49 halogen instead.
-
..try aiming your reflector...there is an adjusting screw for that...
..behind the front cowling, below the reflector assembly...
-
Thanks for the heads up about the adjusting screw.
I'll get see what I can do with it tomorrow
-
....y' welcome...i've tried 4 or 5 different lamps...actually have a setup strapped in with nylon wire ties now....
..let there be light!!..
:o
-
My next goal will be to work on the tail light and go the LED route.
Maybe I'll try and get one of those blinking units like the cops around have on their Harleys.
-
..i have red cluster leds in my rear signal lamps...
-
Is there a specific model that fits the agility tail light? The hardest part is trying to figure out which bulb will fit.
-
..pulled one out at advance auto...matched it up with their bits...the tab configuration on the base of the lamp is th key..and the wattage...
-
nice lights.. I hooked up a few flood lights on each side of my scoot so I can see the road kill at night.
they work realy well and shine farther then the scoots lights works good for night rideing.
in michigan the color lights we can have but we cant drive with theam on.flood light are ok as long as they are shining on the road and not in car windows. lol
-
..i could use those too.......
-
give it a try they are cheap lights you can pic theam up at meijer or walmart for ony 20.00 and come in many sizes.
-
...more forward lighting is ever better!!!..
-
Ya it is I live in deer country so I need all the help I can get plus the roads here are in rough shape
and the pot holes well kill ya.
-
..more forward lighting is ever better!!!..
Exactly!
This is sounding like a great idea... Now I'm inspired!
Lots of deer on my route as well.
-
.yeah...me too..deer country!!...they like just walk around looking at you like you're stupid...
-
they are easy to put on your scoot just take the front reflecters off and use the holes that are already there to bolt on. and you well be all set for some fun night rideing.
-
I've had a couple of deer make a break for it just in front of me when I'm on the way home in the dark. I might have to start carrying bunge cords in case I hit one of them and have to strap it to the luggage rack.
-
lol oooooooooooo ya some one well be bonge cording you to there trunk if you hit a deer on a scoot.
-
..like me some good deer stew......
-

-

-

-

-
why dont you go red and blue then you can try to pull someone over.
-
..yeah, thanx guys...
..reds and blues are a no-no...
..local 5-0 told me that i might be mistaken for an emergency vehicle....
-
ya its a no no we have to keep to white or a light blue for head lights .and are tail lights have to be red or orange same for the tail lights. colored lights we can have but can only be on when parked.
-
