I have a new Taotao quantum 150 and would love to brighten up the headlights !!! Halogen Help needed !! One my scooters is also a TaoTao Quantum tour. I would be very careful going with larger (higher watts - not physical size) bulbs. It's a relatively small bezel for the two halogens that's already in there... I would be worried about melting the Bezel. If you're going to add lighting, I suggest adding supplemental lighting. Add a light bar or something.... Anyhow, you wanted a link so I'll provide one... But if you do get these two halogen bulbs, I suggest paying real close attention and making sure you don't melt your bezel. This links to partsforscooters.com They are an awesome place to purchase scooter parts. That link is for a 35 watt Halogen in either white or blue One of the members of this board (TVNACMAN) has a scooter parts store and I'm pretty sure he stocks these head lamp/bulbs as well. *EDIT Didn't add the link.... Here ya go: 35/35 Halogen |

I've learned one h4 bulb is bright as heck. My scoot takes two bulbs bit I'm only able to run one h4. They fit perfect in place of the headlight socket.

Here ya go: 35/35 HalogenI've had those exact bulbs before. They are very bright, but fell apart after a few months. Filaments and glass still good but the inner parts inside the bottom would fall apart from vibration. Would still provide light, but not quite as close to even a handheld flashlight. However not as bad as burning bulbs every few months. I just wish they held up to vibration better. |

Some say drill a hole in the cap, but I say check for a vent hose connected to a nipple at the top of the tank, replace it with just a regular fuel hose and a filter at the end. If you do not have a vent hose or a nipple on the top of the tank for venting, then you should drill a tiny hole (forget what size) in the cap. Emissions stuff is simple, read the threads onewheeldrive linked you to. |
