Other day I was riding, and bulbs just went out. Went to a scoot shop and got 2 bulbs, replaced and the regular lights work, but wasn't till I really looked, I notice two other super small than the other bulbs and they are as small as a jelly bean. My question; Those my brights and need to buy those and replace?

The small bulbs are your front running lights. The bulbs you got for the headlights are you sure you got the right ones?
They are usually two filaments in the bulb one is for the brights and one for your regular lights.

the replacement bulbs i got look identical to the ones i replaced. When I looked at the small bulbs they were blacked out. my light switch is just low/high, when i have it on low or high now the brights stay the same, and the shine is the same as it was before if the brights werent on. thanks

So today i went and checked it again, and now only 1 bulb is working, and only works when I put it on brights. When the switch is on low, there is nothing. What do you think could be causing this wiring maybe? I am also always going over a lot of bumps cause thats how a lot of the roads are here, can that cause any damage?

Do you have a pair of lights that work at the same time or one for hi and one for low ? On my Echarm it has a single main bulb but two little helper lights on the side that make the beam wider . I have a switch that turns them , the tail and dash lights off for some reason . Did the replacement bulbs have the same model number or at least the same wattage ?

Could be a loose connection on the hi circuit like in the switch

Look at the bulb and make sure the low filament isn't burned out. If its not, the socket has issues. It could be something as simple as the bulb twisted or the rear contact not properly positioned. Double check the wiring harness as they notoriously have issues. Pins tend to get pushed out, bad solder, etc.
