headlights on a vip  By  pucho (Read 1,119 times)

hay jerry, thanks for the link, what im trying to do is get both lights running at the same time like a zuma or ruckus headlight mod but I don't know what wires to jump to have that mod .

The VIP future champ has two lights I want both on at the same time. I will try and get some pics of the wiring

thanks todd, I got a question, what if I used led lights would that bring down the draw in power, stators are easy to come by in my area. got a couple scooter shops within 10 miles of me and all deal in new and used parts, aftermarket as well

In most states, it is illegal to operate a scooter, moped, or motorcycle without the headlight on 24/7.

I didn't notice much difference between hi-lo on my headlights, so I wired the switch as a cutoff. However, my headlight assembly includes running lights that stay on, giving it the appearance of the headlight being on during the day. A cop who wrenches on bikes might notice, but I haven't had any problems to date.

LED lights are designed to take much less power, but I have not seen any LED headlights I like personally, but I have an eye disease that prevents me from adjusting to different light levels and under street lights the LEDs don't seem so bright. I am using halogen bulbs now, much brighter, crisp white light. Power consumption shouldn't be an issue with 2 headlights.

I have a friend who has a vip that originally had one headlight, his scoot was broken into and stripped of parts, one of the parts being the entire front fairing including the lights. We wired a different front fairing to it that had 2 halogen headlights, where the original light wires were I cut them and made sort of T joints with the wires. I tied the 2 headlight negative wires together, then using a terminal wire end, I cut off the terminal end so there was just the round cylinder and crimped the round cylinder around the 2 tied wires and the negative wire from the scoot and made sure they were tight and would not come out, then wrapped them up with electrical tape. Then I did the same thing for each of the positive wires from the scoot for the regular and highbeam lights. We did not add anything extra. It does not seem to draw too much power, it still charges the battery while running like normal and otherwise works like normal. Is this what you are trying to achieve? Or are you trying to add more headlights to the original circuit, like you still have 1 headlight and want to add 2 to have 3?
