Hey guys have any of you tried DRL led light systems to your scooter? Like this I didn't find any black or dark gray scooter picture for photoshopping. This was the only large picture I quickly found from google which shows scooter front. I think those might look good in black or dark gray scooter. Maybe I will give them a try. Wiring is easy to make. Just connect wires to those little daytime running light wires. Don't even need to remove front plastic when connecting from underneath.

Is it really so that anyone of you haven't been thinking of DRL led system? Or is this hot only in european? Almost any of new cars have these. Audi, vw, lexus, opel, alfa romeo,... Even in some new motorcycles have these.

Most states here in the USA require motorcycles and scoots to have at least one headlight on at all times. Even my 1978 Suzuki had the headlight switch always on. This is also why they use a blocking diode in a lot of the scoots over here. When the blocking diode is installed, there is no headlight switch and the headlights are on whenever the scoot is running. DRL's for motorcycles and scooters are really replaced by the always on headlights in this case.
The DRL's are a good idea for scoots with working headlight switches as long as they are wired to come on with the ignition key. That way you don't have to remember to turn on the headlights during the daytime. However, some states may not consider the DRL's to be a substitute for headlights.
