hey alley this is icebear2009's brother in law lol nice to meet you by the way

question regarding my scooter and i know you will know the answer i have a 2008 icebear rhon venice 150cc and my low beam headlight was not working so i bought a brand new bulb same wattage and everything put it in it worked great on low and high beam then noticed right before geting ready to take a ride i seen that low beam was no longer working ...? all wires intact not shorts anywhere .....but one thing that gets me and when i give it throttle the light does get brighter could that be a problem like its giving it more voltage or something to it ...... i did see a another thread someone saying that was normal but ...... any ideal what i could do to fix or look at

ps i did just order a new right hand light control kill switch to see if that will elimate the issue

Welcome to the forum good to have you on here. I could not find your ride are you sure it is a 2008 icebear rhon venice?
Also is it a Scooter, Trike or ATV Or did you misspell something?

Do you know if your headlights are feed from the battery or stator? But yes it is common for the lights to dim at idle and brighten up when given throttle. The electrics on the scoots are minimum at best they are on the edge.

You could check if the R/R is producing to much or not enough, usually the red wire is for charging the battery and at around 4K it should register 13+ volts, also check at idle. The white wire is usually feeding the lights so you can check the white wire a well.

its a scooter my scooter is a rhon venice 150 cc it looks just like a lance venice
do you think its the switch we just order a new switch

Since you have a light switch on the right hand grip I am assuming your lights are being fed off the battery. Which if so when you turn the key on you can put your lights on with the switch (is that right). If the lights are fed straight from the battery it's normal for the lights to be dim at idle and brighten up when given throttle. Has nothing to do with the switch it all has to do with the Regulator/Rectifier which charges your battery. At idle the stator does not produce as much voltage, it needs to spin faster to produce higher voltage to feed to the R/R which in turns converts the VAC to DC to charge the battery.

So get a multi meter and hook it up to the battery and see what it registers at IDLE and then REV it up to around 4k and it should register 13+ volts. If so everything is normal.

the lights are normal i told that to my brother in law for getting brighter what i want to know is right now i have only hi beam were thinking because i brought a new bulb and it work hi and low and then we were going for a ride and low beam blown out again or not working i only have hi beam again so  i just brought a new Right Integrated Switch for GY6 50cc 150cc Scooter Moped hoping that  is  the problem

alley quoted Which if so when you turn the key on you can put your lights on with the switch (is that right) 
right now this also should be happen but it does not thats also telling us its the switch but we figure we would see if you guys know

thanks

Alley is right,,,China scooters charging and electrical systems are marginal,,even my genuine Stella does it

[Alleyoop]

right now this also should be happen but it does not thats also telling us its the switch but we figure we would see if you guys know

Tell me this WITH JUST THE KEY ON WERE YOU ABLE TO HAVE THE HI AND LOW BEAM or only one of them?

Only way one would know is if one had the same scooter and or the manual and the manual described how they work.
It all depends on how that model is wired.

Take my 2009 Trike, ALL the LIGHTS WORK OFF THE BATTERY, the only thing that the R/R is doing is charging the battery. I can turn on the KEY and have ALL THE LIGHTS on or just the instrument panel lights and running light on, if if push the switch all the way to the left my HEADLIGHTS come on MOTOR NOT RUNNING.

no lights with key just on nothing at all , motor running my lights are then on

Ok, that means it is being fed from the Stator not the battery, So then I would suspect the switch or bad connection at the socket or blown bulb. If blown I would check the voltage being put out at high rpms if more than 15 volts then your R/R is not regulating the voltage and or you may need a RELAY to bring down the voltage.

i do have high beams but no low beams  so voltage being put out at high rpms would it  blown out high beam also or just low beam  i have only one bulb for high and low

[Alleyoop]

I would say it is either bad bulb, switch or wire to low bean came loose.
