I went to ride home from work yesterday and noticed that my right side high beam had burnt out. I managed to get the bulb out, though it was a pain. Ended up breaking one of the prongs off and bent the bulb in the attempt. Then I discovered I removed the good bulb. So at the moment I have one bulb in my scooter and it only works in low beam, so hopefully it doesn't go out before I can get a new pair of bulbs.
Anyway, the numbers on the bulb are HSI 12V35/35W E13 2E0. I don't really know what those numbers mean. If someone could point me in the right direction for where I can order replacement bulbs I'd appreciate it.

Here are the two pictures I got with my crappy camera phone. Notice that one of the prongs is broke. It should have 3.   |

Maybe I just suck at searching, but I cannot find anything for my scooter on that site. |

Yeah, actually that looks just like it. Thanks. Almost half the price of buying one from the dealer. |

If your original bulb has a cleat tip, be sure to not get replacements with aluminized tips - they cast a shadow and defeat the purpose of having lights.
I was looking for all clear H4 to replace my BA20D, went with a 45/45watt H4, but the black tip makes high-beams useless.
Bi-xenon HID coming to a headlamp near me... with the adapters to replace H4, BA20D and something else... looks like a sweet kit.

DX The coated tip lights do seem useless. Tried one on a customer Scoot..you get a "bowl" of light..not a focused beam per se... waterboysh..told ya they would cost less....and they are one of the few rare things NOT made in China cheap quality that we buy these days. |

this picture from carasdad shows the dark tip. Sometimes black, sometimes grey, either way, light doesn't shine through, and I dont believe it can be removed. Your original pics show a clear tip, no coating. I could be mistaken and the coating is something else or is a variety of different compounds, but usually I read it being described ad aluminized. |
