Tail light only works while braking
« on: January 05, 2014, 08:25:04 PM »
About this time last year all the lights on my kymco agility 125 got fried. When I took it into the shop they fixed the issue (and I can't remember what the problem actually was, but it was something to do with voltage regulation) It took the shop about a month to get the parts in so after I got it back I noticed this issue (only a tail light when i break) and also the light for my speedometer is dead.

I can't seem to find in the manual what kind of bulb the speedometer hud takes so if anyone knows that would be awesome.. Anyways back to the main issue of my tail light... I pulled the tail light out today and it looks to be fine, neither wire is broken which leads me to believe it isn't the bulb that is the issue but something else. Anyone have any idea why only the tail light only comes one when I brake?

Any help is very appreciated. Thanks.

You may not be able to see the failed filament with your eyes.  The replacement bulb isn't costly, so buy a new one.

Probably the voltage regulator failed and excess voltage burned out the bulbs that don't work.
