Vivo - I've seen some flat LED sets on a couple of websites.  I'm def gonna have to look into that.  Is it as simple as replacing the filament?

If it has the same base, yes. LEDs have +/- polarities unlike the incandescent ones... so you have to insert them the proper way.. if it doesnt light up, just insert it the other way.  

You can also use them for your winkers but you have to buy an electronic LED flasher because the stock flasher won't be applicable.  


Here's a comparison....


Flat LEDS on your left...Multi-LED (32 LED) on your right .. Flat leds are whiter....


by the way, those are my scoot's park lights...

In the UK, and Europe i think, all Agilitys have bulbs in these holders wired up to the switch on the bars. I rarely use mine sin e i normally ride with my full beam on. Shouldnt be difficult for you to wire some in at all.

I looked and I have the holes for them.  I wonder why the U.S. version doesn't have them.  Oh well, it gives me something to modify, now.  ;D

I did order new blinker sets with clear plastic for the front and back along with new mirrors because the stock ones are itty bitty.

Where did you order from? And what type of blinkers?

I ordered from Racing Planet USA - www.racingplanetusa.com

I got cool arrow ones for the front and wrap around blinkers for the back.  Both with clear plastic covers.  I'll post pics when I put them on.
