just found a listing for the BA20D style headlight bulb which is very popular in our scoots. These are LED replacements and they list for $30 each.

Anyone willing to be a product tester?

*** I have a 2011 Jonway YY250T scooter. I am interested in these lights. Has anyone tried them yet? I clicked on the link and they are sold out. Does anyone know of an alternative source?

Welcome to the fourm Vabeechscooter. I tried the link and it said it had been removed? Can you see if you can find them again, I'm sure all will want to see.

Those eBay listings seem to have all disappeared. Here's one:

They are expensive but they can run on AC.

Hey if they are as bright as they say and at only 8W then there is a lot of voltage savings to be gained here guys.

it shows you what they look like lit up.

That was the link I posted on 8/20. There are no more available.

It makes most sense for blinkers and brake and tail lights, to choose 3W LED lights. Don't get too high wattage, as they need cooling, and won't last very long!

4W is already enormous, and similar to 35-40W incandescent bulbs!

Head lights I personally would not modify, because you need to align them correctly, so that the beam will light your path, and not blind other drivers!
I've seen plenty of these mods, and honestly, bikes even with HIDs don't know shit of what they're doing!
They're thinking they're cool, by having these ultra bright lights, but they're really pissing off other drivers driving in front of them.

If they want bulbs like these, fine, but use them where they won't blind other people, like out on the fields, or on lonely roads!
But in the city, please respect other drivers, and keep attention on the beam!

Led lights are smaller than incandescent lights, for the same light output, and can easily burn people's eyes!

So far, there are no real good LED lights for head lights, unless you use flash light heads, that direct the beam to the floor.
