Hi.
Is there anyone installed additional lights for scooter. If so, what kind of LED lights recommend and how did you installed?
I have no issue with scooter charking so I want add additional lights to my Jonway 250.

You can start by replacing all of the rear lights with leds also the front turn if you can find leds that size. Ebay and amazon sell work lights that can be wired into the headlight circuit. I have a led head light (an expensive one) along with led tail and work lights that come on with high beam on my klx. The cheap led head lights do not go to a low beam pattern but they electrically dim them in brightness and the pattern does not change so to see ahead on low it has to be adjusted to blind oncoming traffic.
You do need to be mindful of total current before and after. If it doesn't charge the battery you are overloading the stator and regulator.
If you change out the incandescent's you pick up extra amps to use for extra lights. Each work light I put on was brighter than the original head light and the new head light is many times brighter than OEM. I now have much increased light to the sides on high beam.
tail lights were 1157 and I got a pair of led equivalent at walmart for about $8,... work lights were some where around $18 give or take a couple bucks on amazon.

I think I must install spot type work light that the lights do not dazzle oncoming traffic and use these only with high beam. I found very good installation example from SilverWing forum. Link here
