Looking at pix of the 'final' Like200i being offered in the USA - these 2020 models seem to have an LED headlight.
Wonder if this light assembly (bulb, reflector, wiring, relay, headstock panel??) could be swapped into an older model Like200i?
Yes, people are putting LED bulbs into the old LIKE200I....with varying results. But the new LED headlight found in the 2020 models would be a winner if it could br retrofitted in my 2013 model! !
I must try to find one on a dealer's floor to look at the possibility of plug and play.
After 9 yrs of riding my LIKE200iLX. ...the headlight outlut is my only complaint.

that would be an ideal upgrade. If nothing else physically changed about the headlight covers and housing it just may work. Have you found a parts schematic for a 2020 model? I guess I usually don't see specific model years for our scoots on the online parts diagrams...they just go by the scoot model.
With all your riding in the dark I know you've upgraded your rear lights. Have you considered adding supplemental driving lights up front?
Maybe some tiny, high output led lights...could possibly attach to your turn signal stalks (if yours are metal brackets, like mine)?

I'll check at my dealer that week...

This image on the KymcUSA web site made me think the light is an LED. However - this scooter must be the Euro version - without the USA turn-signal pods.
BUT, I found some 2020 LIKE200i's for sale by private owners - and the headlight is NOT an LED. It's a Halogen , like all the previous.
So maybe only the Europeans got the LED?
Bummer!

have you checked the European models? They seem to be light years ahead of us in OEM lighting.
@Ruffus , do your Likes have halogen or led lighting?
@Stig, if there are no factory LED options I would seriously suggest looking at add on driving lights. I have them on my Ninja and the light output is amazing..it's like having an extra set of high beams on.

@Iahawk, both my LIKEs had OEM H4 bulbs, swapped for LED, plug and play. (pls see pic)
Light output is, for me, enough and seems directed well. I did some additional adjustment inside the headlight. But I very seldom ride at nighttime.
Like I said, I will check this week at my dealers.
