very nice! wish i had the knowledge to do electrical work. i just replaced my burned out headlight with the same cheap 35w bulb hoping since it was new that it might be a little brighter but nope.
someone should start a scooter electronics school for dummies. i'd pay to attend those classes.

Not to rain on things but keep an eye on the plastics around the light. Halogen bulbs run a lot hotter than regular bulbs.

I also felt I needed more light driving in the dark... So I went with two LED CREE-lights and connected them so they work with the headlight, pleased with the result! Comparison:

Wilds, do you have a link to those lights? Have you noticed a drain on the battery with the draw from them?

Sorry for my delay i have been pretty sick with pneumonia since this post
i will take those photos asap
also i bought a camera, so it will not appear to be taken by a calculator this time hehe
just getting over this pneumonia, riding a scooter can become a challenge when you have a temp of 105
