It was really easy!  It took about 10min with the dremel to shave down the wide ends till it fit snug in the hole.  Then I just plugged the spade connectors directly onto the stock wires so it can easily be changed back.

Read the package CAREFULLY. Like shaka said do not use anything bigger than 35 watts. You will FRY the stator.

It's on the left side, opposite the kill switch. I finally got some good bar end mirrors. This pict was before them.

Yep, mine has a blank on each side, no kill switch, I thought it was a hazard light switch on the right hand side. I dont know why but some had the dimmer switch and some didn't.

They turned up, so now my scoot has a dimmer switch on the left hand side and the halogen globe is in. The globe came from england via ebay and was cheaper than I can buy a H4 globe for my car. The globe is 12V 35/35W, and model code BA20D, straight fit into existing mount, can't wait for tonight to see if it is any better.

Gonna look into that. 35 watt is the correct size.

im assuming you had to install a switch for the lights...mine also only has the off/on switch.. i thought when you turned the headlight on, that the running lights stayed on also..mine turn off when headlight engaged?????

Only the running lites on either side of the headlamp. All else should stay on.
