« on: May 19, 2013, 04:48:11 AM »
My stock headlight is too dim and i'd like to upgrade it to something more brighter , does anybody know what kind of bulb do i need without messing up the scooter electrical? Thanks

That's a toughy as scooter alternators aren't designed with much extra power. An over wattage
bulb or HID will need more juice. You might look for a whiter bulb, the ones that say 85 watts
from a 65 watt draw. They look brighter, The only problem is the good ones (like PAIA) cost a lot
and don't last long on a motorcycle (or scooter) in my experience as their spec'ed at 13V and the bike
runs at 14V...

LED's in general have less lumens, a standard 65 watt H4 puts out around 1200 lumens.
You want more lumens for more light.
