If no electricity to the bulb then its either the hi-low switch, Regulator rectifier, or stator. Or bad wiring between any of those components. Try replacing the bulb first. If no change let us know and we will help as best we can. |

Depending on your style of scooter, you may have to remove the whole front clip to get to the lights. I have a Jonway scooter and to get to my headlights I have to remove the front clip in order to be able to service them. As for putting in an led light should be able to. What model and year of scooter do you have and one of the peeps on here should be able to tell you what will work and the best way to install.

This is a link that someone else had posted to another rider that has a 2014 taotao atm50. Not sure if they are the same or not, but supposed to be a plug and play kit.
edit: 6. If you upgrade your headlight, use an HID like this: LINK $19.00 to the door and they are plug and play... Wire coloring will even mate up. The biggest bonus, you will not have do any "mods" other than swap the actual bulb into your existing head lamp reflector. I have installed this very kit in two scooters now and you just can not imagine how bright they are.
Your original bulb is likely a 25/25 watt and this kit is only 35/35 watts. A 10 watt difference.... However, like Jerry suggest, swap out your blinker (1156) and stop light bulbs (1157) with LED's and you will recapture that lost 10 watts.

I have a jonway also , but all I have to do is remove the headlight cover. Some of them all you have to do is reach up under the front fairing and you can get to the headlights.
