 HI Everybody, I want to replace the stranded 25v,25w push and twist headlight bulb to a White LED or something bright and cool that's not the basic amber looking week YY250T lights. Do they make Powerful LED Headlights..? Or is the a conversion kit to a very easy install for a non-mechanical kind of guy. barry

I installed a 35w HID system...Bi-Xenon...H4...9003 bulb.....5000K...Hi/Lo.....dual beams...with relay and used led's in the rear turn and tail lights. Now I can see at night and the oncoming traffic knows that I am there. The low beam is all that I need to see and the high allows me to flash the on coming vehicle to dimm there lights. Love it....

Hi Barry. Most people will either install higher wattage bulbs or go to HID kits for the most light. LED bulbs from what I have researched do not throw as much light as a good halogen or HID bulb. They do save a lot on power consumption, but the amount of light is not enough. I installed a HID kit which I discussed in the following thread: thescooterprofessor.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=250classchinese&thread=2509&page=1You will see some pix on reply #19 near the end of the thread. |

I removed the adapter from the headlight bucket and put in a standard automobile H7 55 watt bulb.

Be careful with the heat from a 55w bulb. It could melt the plastic headlight lens.... Life is Good...

Well since you are dealing with a YY250T and they are known for less of a charging system. Going HID is One of the best options out there. You get way brighter lights than halogens and you are drawing way less than the brightest Halogen you can buy. Cruiser has posted a good link to an upgrade and if you do a bit of digging you would also find my upgrade thread also.

Welcome to the forum, chihuahuas. Tell us a little more about yourself and your scoot in the new student section. My scoot has two hi-lo HIDS. I guess I should do more night riding. ;D |
