At around 14.000km on the clock, my high-beam died today, and just a few hours later
low beam too. Mostly high was used.. oh well.

Here's what was in my 2006 EU spec Agility 125, a HS1 Philips 35/35W bulb:

Click on the image for full size and all the numbers and stuff if you're interested.

I replaced it with a regular car-spec H4 55/60W bulb, some generic chinese brand,
$2,5 or so. It SHOULD make a difference due to higher power.. we'll see.

I used to use the high-beam just to get noticed, hopefully I'll be able to get away
with the low now.
Hey mate, I have the same Kymco Agility 125 2006. Did your scooter come with h4 55/60w or 12v 35/35w H11?

A 5 year old thread, seriously? :)
It came with the H11 and the light pattern from the H11 was better then the more powerful and bigger H4
I put in after the original died. Buy a better bulb, not a higher power one. :)

My friend, could I use this light bulb: 12V 35/35W S2 BA20D? It look very similar. I can not find any H11 type?

I have no idea, there's H11 bulbs in every single general store around here, web shops and ebay (from like $2 a pop).
Really a non-issue.

None in my local stores or dealers which is why I've been trying hard to find out?

Here is the bulb I found which I can buy on ebay but can not find an H11: http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1ukOOIFXXXXX3XXXXq6xXFXXXK/Light-font-b-Bulbs-b-font-Round-Style-2-Contact-font-b-S2-b-font-font.jpg

What other light bulb could I use for a Agility 2006? I don't think I can wait around to receive my answer. I will go ahead and buy this bulb and try my luck.

You can use any H4 like stated in the posts above.
Every car parts store will have a massive choice of those.

These are very basic common bulbs we're talking here, and I live in the middle of nowhere Croatia. o.O

Did you mean H4:


I can't use this bulb it doesn't have the correct fitting or am I missing something here? I can take a photo and post here if you want?

I have this bulb:


I know it can be basic to others but this is my first time changing it. I learned how to change the oil from kymco-forum so far I am pretty happy with my progress of DIY.

Ace, this one worked for us, for our Kinetic TFR which uses the same bulb you show...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/172573300316?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It works Great !
Did I mention it was cheep, like the budgie ?  :-)

No clue how long it will last, but I am now happy with the vendor and will get a couple more just to keep on hand.

Interesting! BA20D is the correct fitting. Will make an order so I can LED everyone else who shines their bright as LED on me at night time (my turn - lock and loaded)  ;D
