I would like to buy a different kind of headlight bulb for my agility 50 and am not sure what kind it takes or where to buy one
-
If it is the same globe as the zx50 it will take a BA20D, I got a super bright halogen one from scooter assassins, it was a big improvement. But, I also put in a dimmer switch and now have high beam as well. This is about the best that can be had from my scoot.

@sidthesloth
thank you for the reply greatly apreciated
-
My stock light was a 35 watt, so when I bought the new one I made sure it was 35/35 so I did not overload the charging system or generate too much heat for the headlight lens/reflector.
-
ours is not a BA20D it is a very strangely shaped HI/LO roundish bulb that i have not been able to find anywhere besides my dealer. I would love to find a high output bulb of some sort so if anyone has come across one please post also if anyone knows the numbers for our bulb.. if not i'll be building something to fit one of these HID bulbs i have laying around somewhere... ;D
-
A big bulb, with a mount that looks similar to a tail light, the BA20D replaces this, but is a halogen bulb, only a fraction of the size, but better output.
-
My model is not listed, but it works for me.

wow i didn't actually look closely at that bulb it really does look like the same base as the p5w21w(our stock bulb apparently) which is basically a European version of the 1157 bulb.. i'll have to go pick one up i live in the country so i've gotta keep my eyes peeled for deer
-
Nice info Sid, been looking for a decent halogen type bulb myself for a while, was worried i may buy the wrong type and melt my holder or lens. Get paid next week so i may need to buy one then.
-
I bought another two last night, they are not available locally and I don't have a spare.
I have been using them for about 1 year, no problems. I alsn fitted a dimmer switch. Doing shift work and having to ride down a road that is notorious for roos, you need a good light.
-
Roos and 50mph scooters dont mix well ;D
-
Which is why I slow down to 80km/h (50mph) on that road at night.
-
they're not available locally here either so i'll be ordering 2 or 3 probably different styles so i can figure out which works and looks best my headlight looks exceptionally yellow now as i have LED driving lights which are bright white and i have the corner lights in my headlight amber colored instead of the stock white (which for some reason kymco decided no to illuminate from the factory?? there were bulbs and sockets and all but no connection to power...) the deer around here are suicidal i've been knocked off my scoot once by a small doe.. needless to say it was not a pleasant experience and i now have a boomerang for a rear brake handle
-
I don't suppose the young doe enjoyed being swept off her feet by a suicidal scooterist. ;D.
-
hahahaha nope she ran away real fast once she got untangled from my scoot lol

This website "HD Bright" doesn't have much in the way of talkative customers. Anyone try this bulb out?

It's not cheap but if it's the best one out there, it's not expensive either...
-
Well it's only 500 lumens. Check that against your stock bulb. A typical H4 60 watt will
put out around 1200 lumens so would be 2x to 3x brighter. It would be fine for daytime
use or to be conspicuous...
-
H4 60Watt seems like far from standard in an Agility 50, so I doubt I would want to compare it to that.

No idea the lumens for these.
-
Well these 35w halogens put out 900 lumens;

You didn't state what the originals were...
The Eiko's do 870 lumens...
