300cc Sunny By copperhead51 (Read 1,810 times)

I've never ridden a motorcycle/scooter on the streets.  I've enjoyed it so much with my little TaoTao that I bought a 300cc Sunny www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/cPath/38_232/products_id/17299 .  One thing that I've noticed is the inadequacy  of the headlights.  Are there any bright "plug and play" bulbs out there?  Thanks.

I can't believe some of these Chinese scooters get in the country with the lights they have. I guess they don't ride at night in China, or have a death wish. There are higher wattage bulbs, unfortunately they tend to melt the plastic reflector in the headlight mechanism. LEDs are a great solution....very bright, low draw....and illegal in this country for headlights! aaaargh! However, you can leave your OEM headlight in and put aux lights next to it. Or, how about a whole new HID system? They seem to work great! Rich

Even from my stand point of cage driver those headlights (marker lights) a rather dim for day time use. On my motorcycles I preferred to run three lights in a triangle formation front and rear for visibility and it IDs it as a motorcycles to most. But they have a better electrical system.

Do the HID lights draw more or less power than the regular lights?

The LEDs can be legal IF they have the matched reflectors. With an original reflector they have an illegal lighting pattern, blinding oncoming drivers.

For quite a few years the FAA has approved led's for small aircraft landing lights. Landing lights don't shine much to the side but have a big range up and down though. Turn one sideways.

I LOVE my HID's They were a pain to install but man.... What a difference! People can see me coming now and I can see the road very clearly.

They were a royal pain in the rectum to install because my Reg/Rec was bad and I didn't know it.

Jeez Pedro, flatulence doesn't help anything. Good grief man! Try some fiber and skip the new age crap! WHEW!

I know everybody that did a GY6 HID installed the 11 coil three phase stator so I'm assuming it does need more energy. John could probably comment on this more. Gaahd Pete, courtesy match!

Would you be so kind as to give me a URL to what you installed?

Try this one:

The instructions were pretty much non-existent but I was able to figure it out using a meter.

V! Your avatar is priceless! A hoot on many levels....very funny....

OK, I found this and Matt is one of our sponsors!! Not only is he a nice guy but he knows scooters in and out and can give tech advice. So he could tell you if the heat would be an issue, but this conversion kit seems pretty tasty: link

When you get done with the lighting tell us about the scooter. All the online places are selling it at the same price as the 257cc Linhai powered ones. I'd like to know if Sunny Sports is cleaning up their act or still doing the same, old tricks.
