I've always thought you can't (or shouldn't) connect anything that needs power to the headlight power source because of the peculiar way many of our scoots dim the headlights at lower rpm's.
I've never heard that, but it goes to Kansas kymco's point about stator output....
So with that option not available, I guess the question is what's a good source to tap into for power? On my S200 I have an under seat 12v power outlet...
From what I understand, there are only 2 real choices - Battery or the stator
Woyciesjes - do you have a similar 12v power outlet under your seat that you could tap into?
Nope, my Agility 50 isn't that fancy....
Brings up a valid point if Woyciesjes is set up to dim the light ...
I'll have to see if my headlight dims when RPMs go low. The way I understand DC electrical, if the lights dim at low RPM, it's not designed that way, it's just that the stator is not putting out enough juice...
My questions is, are the light circuit & charging circuits from the stator separate? I would think so....
In other words, I think the only thing the battery does is start the scooter, horn, turn & brake lights (whatever works when it's switched on but not running)
My take---why would anybody want to add lites to Kymco scooter?---just something else to go wrong when you are in the middle of nowhere---Kymco had the original stuff pretty well figured out and reliable/legal.
Why? Because.
Better light output, less power draw so you can add more lights for decoration.
