I had some cheapo wedge bulbs I got off ebay for $1.79/10. (I think they are 194's).
Took the MET-In bulb out and tried one and it works great! I hope if I ever leave the seat open
it won't kill the battery!
Kymco's OEM bulb is wedge type T6.5 1.7W.
The one you have installed is 0.5 W.
So, it is three times less likely to kill the battery. Or, it will take three times as much time.
