The 50 watt bulb will work because it has the ba20d base and it works on 12 volts like the originals. It might be too hot and it also could cause the battery to eventually go dead.
The 35 watt bulb will work also as long as it has the ba20d base. Many people use this bulb as a replacement for the 25 watt original. It runs only a little warmer and it doesn't put as much load on the charging system as the 50 watt bulb.
The 50 watt bulb is usually more powerful (is brighter) than the 35 watt because it consumes more power. The 35 watt bulb should give a noticeable increase in brightness over the 25 watt bulb.

It sounds like you are performing the test with the blocking diode in the circuit. In order to perform the test that you referenced, you will have to pull the plug on the diode and jumper the connector that comes out of the wiring harness. Your headlights will be on when the jumper is in place.

The 50W xenon bulb you mention is not a HID light. There is no plug and play HID light for a vehicle which does not already have HID lights. The HID bulb requires a ballast which steps up the DC voltage from 12 volts to about 20000 volts in order to ignite the bulb and then it regulates back to about 85 volts to run the bulb.
As mentioned earlier, the heat maybe too much for the plastic housing, but another problem that may occur is that the 50 watt bulbs may overtax the already marginal charging system on the YY250T. That's one of the reasons these scoots usually ship with 25 watt bulbs.

Welcome to the forum. I feel you need to get the electrical problems straightened out before anything else. It sounds like the charging system has been frying your lights for some time. A high charging voltage will eventually kill the battery. You should have a good digital multimeter to troubleshoot scooter electrics. You also need a good battery which is fully charged. This is the basis to tell if the charging system is working OK. |

Thanks. I also use a UPS on the Directv receiver. Without it the reboot time after a power failure is like 5 minutes which fluffs up my wife's tail quite a bit.  These units use an internal sealed lead acid battery which will last for many years. The batteries are replaceable for a fraction of the price of the original UPS. I usually get a replacement battery with a bit higher capacity. |

If you look more closely, you'll most likely find "Jonway" on every piece of plastic. They make the plastic body parts for many brands.

Bolting to the frame helps dissipate heat. There is no ground through the heat sink.
