I'm not too sure the numbers you posted are bulb numbers I think they look more like T5 T10 S2 H4 H3 H7 9006 168 Ba20 .

John,
I copied those numbers directly from my Tomos Twister 50 Owner's Manual. I never dreamed that getting LED replacement bulbs would be so difficult. *LOL*

John, I copied those numbers directly from my Tomos Twister 50 Owner's Manual. I never dreamed that getting LED replacement bulbs would be so difficult. *LOL* The numbers in the book are not standard for America , getting the bulbs out for a quick look should not be that hard . your dash should have T10's they could be T5's . They will be the hardest ones to get to . The others we just need to see what they look like . John |

I guess I'll just have to wait. My scoot is 900 miles away right now. I was trying to get a head start on ordering the LEDs. Thanks for all the help guys.  |

When you do make sure to measure the length of the signal housing (to make sure the bulb you ordered will fit in a given space.) AND the opening (to make sure the bulb isn't too big around and will slide through)

Why the change over? Any electrical load you remove will be consumed by the voltage regulator.

I bought a 1157 LED for my tail light which uses a 1157 bulb at CycleGear . Most auto part stores have them but if they have a plastic body then can crack according to the rep at CG . Mine it metal and works great .
If you get LED blinkers you will need a diff relay for them

I replaced the incandescent bulbs on mine, figured out the electrical savings and used it to power an alarm, tracking unit, killer headlights and a DWG stereo.  |

Voltage regulator won't "consume" the extra amperage. It is more like a gate that keeps the voltage from spiking. I properly working voltage regulator isn't supposed eat up too much power. If it is it's not working properly.
Switching from incandescent to LED can free up ALOT of power, as spandi mentioned. They are well worth the investment, if only to increase the reliability of the bulbs.
