Title: Lighting Question
Post by: bootscooterboogie on October 05, 2012, 07:04:13 AM
Does anyone know if it would be possible for me to put some sort of LED lights or something in the upper corners of the headlight where it goes into the peaks or ears of the headlight?  If so, is there any kind of tutorial or other thread?  I couldn't find one, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything...  hehehehe

Have you not got lights there already i think here in the uk they are fitted by law, i think they are 5 watt bulbs in there for what they are there good for day riding as you can see them from a distance and it looks like 2 headlights.......

are there holes already?  then you can use T10 LED bulbs and rubber bulb holders/sockets

or get those like the above pics...

The light is still shaped like that, but my day driving light is just a low beam of the main light.  There's nothing up in the corners.  I'll take it out and look.  Thanks for the pics!

You're welcome.  Do you have a parklight, headlight on/off switch or does your head light turn on automatically when you start the engine?

I had some extra lights on my scoot for a long time. helps with seeing the road kill.
just had theam bolted to wear the refectors are at on the front tire. you just need to make sure
when you add any extra lights that a fuse is on the wire comeing from the battery.

Anything's possible. I just did angel eyes for my Ruckus lights. The agility will get a new eye this next summer. Check it.....

The running lights turn on automatically when I start the engine.  I do have a switch to turn them brighter at night.  And, I do have passing flasher button on the headlight button.

Blue - do you mean they were like small LED lights?

JC - I was thinking about doing a halo, but I haven't taken off the headlight assembly, yet, to see how possible that would be.  I'd love to do that, too.

No the lights I use are from walamart they are fog lights they come in a kit of 2 lights you get the wireing and everything. As long as you get the ones that can run off your stator or right to the battery you are good. they realy bright they come in all sizes.

All of these suggestions makes me scared I'm gonna have to get a more powerful stator.  LOL  I'll be the only scoot able to be seen from outerspace.  BAHAHAHA

I also have a deep cycle battery under my seat to hook up to what ever I can to it buy just pluging it in to a cigaratte lighter plug only have to charge it up ounce in a while.Its good to have even if your scoot needs a jump start.

great suggestion!  I hadn't thought about that.  Then, I can maybe add a few more items like my GPS, stereo, speakers, etc.

So you have a U.S. version scoot.. our Asian and Euro versions have a separate switch for headlight and parklights. The two little lights on you scoot are supposed to be the parklights... Switch half way for parklights, then slide further for the head lights.

I converted an H3 yellow projector fog light to an LED.  Got me super bright flat LEDs. You can see that the beam pattern is not scattered but focused because of the projector lens...

Vivo - I've seen some flat LED sets on a couple of websites.  I'm def gonna have to look into that.  Is it as simple as replacing the filament?

If it has the same base, yes. LEDs have +/- polarities unlike the incandescent ones... so you have to insert them the proper way.. if it doesnt light up, just insert it the other way.  

You can also use them for your winkers but you have to buy an electronic LED flasher because the stock flasher won't be applicable.  


Here's a comparison....


Flat LEDS on your left...Multi-LED (32 LED) on your right .. Flat leds are whiter....


by the way, those are my scoot's park lights...

In the UK, and Europe i think, all Agilitys have bulbs in these holders wired up to the switch on the bars. I rarely use mine sin e i normally ride with my full beam on. Shouldnt be difficult for you to wire some in at all.

I looked and I have the holes for them.  I wonder why the U.S. version doesn't have them.  Oh well, it gives me something to modify, now.  ;D

I did order new blinker sets with clear plastic for the front and back along with new mirrors because the stock ones are itty bitty.

Where did you order from? And what type of blinkers?

I ordered from Racing Planet USA - www.racingplanetusa.com (http://www.racingplanetusa.com)

I got cool arrow ones for the front and wrap around blinkers for the back.  Both with clear plastic covers.  I'll post pics when I put them on.
