MC54B front turn signal replacement By scooterdave (Read 784 times)

Hi Fellow Scooterists! I have an '07 MC54B (12,050 miles!)How do I get to the front turn signal bulbs without dismantling the whole front end? I have good sized hands and tried to get to them squeezed up under the radiator shroud to access the bulbs. No go! Also, is it worth going to LED's for this application since the reflector is useless since LED's are directional?

Welcome to the forum, That's a tough one, If you live close to me I'd come and help you. I had to replace my headlights, so I took the whole front off, which its not hard to do, just time consuming. I'll look at mine and see if there is an easier way to get into it.

scooterdave, looked at mine, the problem is that there are couple screws that hold the turning light on, but they're very difficult to get to and to do it right the front has to come off

When I had a MC54B, I tried various LEDs for the front turn signals, but was never satisfied. So, I switched back to regular bulbs.

You could try something like these. They attempt to direct the light in all directions with this design.

Thanks guys for your help. I kind of figured I was destined to end up taking the front end off. Just couldn't figure any other way. The Chinese don't make it easy> I think they figure no one would ever have to work on them. Helix83: I went through the same frustration with my lights. Wanted to go to LED's but wasn't satisfied with any of the results. Stayed with regular bulbs.

scooterdave, glad you got it fix, I know the chinese never make anything easy, now you can put that on your finished list.
