1. Yes, they screw in properly. But (on mine) the electrical connector needed to be updated to the correct one. Simple and cheap. 2. I just ran them off the normal headlight wiring 3. I also put in a flasher (switch controlled) so I can flip a switch and have the headlight flash. Want one? I have an extra, but you will need to use a relay with it - and a switch so you can turn the low beam off, and the flasher on, when you want. You helped me out enough already , I'll stick to the basics for now , thanks for the offer. If im not mistaken the h4 has 3 prongs off the back . I will cut the socket off and buy some connectors that slide over the three prongs . I'll just need to make sure I have the high and low beams hooked up correctly . was you socket like this?  . The h4 has the same three prongs as the socket and should fit right into the assembly socket.  . Assembly socket.  Yep. The headlight bucket accepts this perfectly. Couple of female blade connectors slipped onto the H4 blades will work fine. Or, at OReilly you can just get an H4 socket with 3 wires coming from it that you can solder & shrinkwrap onto the scoots wires. Simple and easy. And what a difference at night! |

I see you also have the pitiful little 'driving light' bulb to the side of the main socket. What I did was get a 64-LED bulb and siliconed it into that hole (had to file it a little bit bigger). The bulb on EBay isn't bright enough for a nighttime bulb, for for a driving light it's fine - so if you switch your low beam you can leave it off and only use the LED. Takes almost no power. |

I think you can help make this a little easier . I imagine the three prongs on the back of the H4 are , ground , high beam , and low beam . rcq , can you tell me which prong is the ground and which are the other 2 ? It would make this a heck of a lot easier. Even if I knew which one was ground , then figuring the other two would be very easy. Here are a couple pics.

How do I bypass the daytime lights ? I'd rather not have the main lights running all the time . I don't care if the small led lights run . is there one main power running to the lights , or is there one for each bulb ? I guess I can look in the morning. I figure at some point there is only one main power line running to the lights that I can run to a switch.

New front fender came yesterday , and the 16gram roller weights came today. I ordered the fan cover a week ago and its not even showing its shipped ! That's the problem with a lot of the US sellers. They take their good old time shipping the products out. Or they don't actually have them and order the product from somewhere else after you order it from them.

Looks as if I'm going to have to do some painting on the scoot. I don't want to remove the front fairing, so I'll probably tape off a pattern and hit it with some flat black . the reason I have to paint the front fairing is because when the scoot fell , it slid on its side and took some nasty chunks out . I'll have to fill in the deep scratches and gouges then paint it.

My fan cover finally will be here 2moro !! I temporarily hooked up 1 h4 headlight bulb and I have the scoot temporarily together so I can get my new K&S variator tuned in right. I wired the h4 straight to the battery and left the small led bulbs hooked to the regulator power. I left the other h4 unhooked for now. At least I'll be able to ride the scoot until I'm ready to repaint and do some LED designing on her. Hopefully I'll get that going in the next couple weeks.

You think I'd learn my lesson !! My fan cover came 2day , and the darn thing does not fint my scoot right !! The cover is different from the pic . I ordered it from a random seller and this is what I get. Here are some pics. I've already begun to carve it up . I had to make a piece to fit onto the cover so the airflow goes into the shroud instead of over it !! Well here it is . I'm going to use this one until I get another . the pieces where the screws go into the rest of the shroud where square so I had to round them off , and the still don't exactly line up but I'll make it work.  .  .  .  |

The top right part of the cove is squared and sticks up over the rest of the shroud. So I made that piece and stuck it in the fan cove . it meets up with the shroud just fine . a little silicone and some small screws and all should be OK for now . I cut the center fins out of the cover and I'm going to install the air scoop.

Got the cover on and sealed up good . man the h4 build is nice !! No more problems with not being able to see at night . I also made a new thread about the K&S variator .

My oil temps are a little higher then usual . I'm pretty sure its because of the wrong fan cover that was sent to me. I thought my redesigning would work but my temps where around 210 degrees today and I wasn't even running her hard. Usually when I run her hard the temps stay under 200 degrees . I'm thinking they would be around 225-240 if I did run her hard. So I had to tear the fan cover off and reshape it again. I hope I have it right this time .

. The h4 has the same three prongs as the socket and should fit right into the assembly socket.
