first off you need to get both hi and lo power to each side,,then there needs to be a socket that will accept the two filament bulb,,,,change the socket and wire it up,,,rather easy actually,,,the trick is to modify them so they don't look like a beaver has been gnawing on them,,,and i would run led bulbs myself,,,the charging systems on scooters is marginal at best,,,less draw will make it happen nicely i would think

People just see headlights and maybe can't judge the distance properly. Some amber lines on the bike let them know it's not just a far away headlight or street light. I was fooled not too long ago myself. I saw a bunch of cars coming and started to pull out only to realize there was a bike with one big and two small headlights ahead of the pack. It made me realize why people don't seem to see us. To me his lights looked like they were in with the cars. I didn't see his bike, just lights, and I could see cars, so my eyes said, "those are the car lights". I'm not saying I'm safe from car drivers, but it sure seems like a lot less cars are trying to pull out in front of me now. |

Check ebay or one of the ad tiles scolling at the top of the homepage i'm sure you can get sockets that you can install in the original headlite buckets that will accept twin filament headlite bulbs,,,and if you run led's (which i recommend because they dont get as hot) you'll save power and have more light to boot,,,i personally would run an H4 style bulb,,,1157 is a tail light running/brake light
