Wilds,
Yup, THOSE things really DO work! Thanks for posting the pix!
I was in the process of mounting one like it on my old Xingyue 150 when local road changes prompted me to trade it for a 250 to keep up with faster-moving traffic.
I even did a post showing how to install a bridge-rectifier to convert the AC current on my scoot to DC current which the LED's prefer. My "new" used Kymco 250 uses DC for the lights, so if I do use and LED it will be a lot easier to hook up.
You should be a lot safer at night with that LED, but please be sure it's aimed so it doesn't blind oncoming traffic. You don't want your safety-device causing an oncoming car or truck to hit you head-on... LOL!
Ride safe!
Leo in Texas

They are aimed a little downward and they only work when I switch the head light on. Now I'm just waiting for the second one to arrive so I can mount it and drive safely in the dark...  |

Wilds,
VERY neat! The DC headlights DO make it easier... And you WILL like the lights!
Just reading your signature. 183cc, head, cam, fuel-injection... THAT must go like a 250! You do need good lights at 70mph...
Ride safe,
Leo
