I think the bulbs are 35w....after you get the bulb socket out the bulbs are real easy to replace and I would use a cloth or rubber gloves to place the new bulb in the socket and then reinstall in the housing.....you do not have to take the entire black plastic housing out of the front plastic nose of the scooter....just the bulb and socket and reinstall the hold down wire and screws..

The metal piece has two cutouts to hold the free ends of the wire, the socket goes in and the wire holds the assembly and the screw finishes out he install.....

Yes and No.....you did not break anything.....the piece on the right goes back on and then your socket....then the wire and the screw on the left holds it all together....you can do it....just look at the socket wire that is left to fiqure it out......I installed HID's in my scoot last year and love the new light source.....can now see at night....enjoy the ride...

Remove the screws/nut holding the light bulb and remove the assembly...it should be a spring wire...not difficult to do....then replace the bulb...  |

I also use the key....but I use the kill switch at random times to make sure it works....I had a buddy, who went through a fence on a Harley....with it going full blast....I thought the Harley's had kill switches....I may be wrong...anyway check it ..

You may need to adjust the valves.... .004 intake and .005 or .006 exhaust....then adjust the idle... 1800 to 2000....I used .006 on the exhaust on my scoot....with the scoot on the center stand adjust the idle till the rear wheel starts to turn and then lower the idle till the wheel stops turning...the fuel filter may need to be changed...
