People 150 front turn signals---disconnected?

[jofour]

Hey,  I'm a new People 150 owner (two days!).  I love it.  I noticed right away that the upper (eyestalk) front turn signals work perfectly.  The two bug-eyed lower ones in the panels do not operate al all.  Is this normal?  Have they purposely been disconnected by Kymco?  Can they be re-connected, so I will have four front turn signals lights?  And, if so, how can I do this?  I'm quite clever for a New Hampshire boy (age 70!).  Or, should I have my dealer do this?

Appreciate any help.  Jofour.

Was the same on my '01 zx/50. Something about D.O.T. regs. laws, whatever. I removed the stalks, and ran the wiring to the panel lites. If you just parallel them you will begin to push the limit on the charging system. especially at idle w/ the blinkers on. There are low current led's that can be used. Perhaps someone knows a good source for them. A sharp cop will notice the stalks missing.

Hi.  Thanks for your answer. I actually saw on another forum why they don't work.  Same reason you gave.  Now, I want to see if I can get them operational, at least with small lights, or better yet, with leds.  jofour

...I wired in two incandescent lamps on my Agility 50...smallest ones that I could find in that particular socket...

..it was too great of an amp draw on my lamp capacitor...headlamp, tail-lamp and turn signals would go dim..

..so, I bought two LED lamps...they look great, and had no effect on my other lamps..

peace

Thanks, wordslinger, for the advice.  I am also going to try LED lamps, for ALL my lights (except the headlamp), if I can find the correct sizes.  On my scoot, the "dead" front blinker sockets seem to have been removed (the fixtures are there) and replaced with a flat-surfaced plastic piece with no holes in it.  I'm thinking of getting a new set for the front from a dealer I saw online, which has wires with it.  I want to see if I can get them to "blink" with the two bug-eyed signals.  The better to be seen by the four-wheelers!  Also, anyone out there ever add an LED license plate frame which acts as another brake light/running light and also rear turn signals to go with the original set?  Later, jofour.

With L.E.D.'s it's easy to do! the liscense frame will have 2 positive leads, and 1 neg. One pos. goes to any running light pos. The other goes to your brake light, and the ground goes to the lite green ground on the scoot. You can simply parallel all of your connections because of the low current draw of the led's. It's an awesome idea, because of the extra visabilaty
