I like the instrument lights, but is the red stop/taillight wattage draw a little high? Not speaking from knowledge-just asking.

I don't know how to post a photo but the instrument bulbs are a small wedge type, and the turn signals are posssibly 1156 type. I suspect that the stop/taillilght is a 1157 type.

PAZZO, Your scoot takes the same bulbs as mine does, 1156 for turn signals and 1157 for the stop lights. I put up exactly what is on mine and the bulbs that you need. Now these bulbs are of high quality you can get some cheaper and here is what I mean. Alleyoop QUALITY BULB:  CHEAPER BULB:  |

Alleyoop, what did you use for your turnsignals?

I don't know. They seem nice, but a little expensive.

Pazzo I can vouch for these bulbs, I run them on all my scooters extremely bright. Now on the standard 1157 dual filament brake/tail light bulb every time you hit the brake you pull 10 watts, if the scooter has 2 bulbs that's 20W.
Now on the tail light part of the bulb which is on all the time they pull 5W and if you have two of them that's 10W.
Now to do the math on amp pull on your charging system AMPS = Watts div volts so 5W div 12Vdc = .42 amps x 2 bulbs = 0.84 amps.
Now these LED's we recommended pull about 0.50W which is 0.50 div 12Vdc = .042 amps X 2 = .084 amps.
You gain over 0.75 charging amps back to the system. On the brake light side of the bulb one gains over 1.5 amps back to the charging system.
I think what has you confused is the 13W bulb. The 13W means the brightness of the bulb not the wattage draw of the bulb. On this scooter like a lot of typical Chinese scooters if you do a complete LED change out of the bulbs you can easily go to a 50W headlight bulb with power to spare.

You're right JR. The 13W is what was bugging me. I'm going to take your advice and order these LED's. Thanks so much for all your help!

Put all new Leds on my scoot got some from amazon.com, some from e-bay, and some from t-mart. 13 smd 1157 for tail/brake (red) also wired trunk for third brake light/tail light, 13 smd 1156 for turn signal (amber) 5 smd 194 for dash lights (blue) put same bulbs in for running lights looks awesome and replaced headlights with 55/60 watt H-4 bulbs (had to change sockets).
