I am in the process of restoring my first widebody vespa its a 1955 acma 125.

Its not far away from completion but im really struggling to find a supplier for the headlight bulb. Does anybody know where I might source on ?

I do have an old one its definitely made by phillips and think its 25/25w but cant really read the numbers so thats not a definite.

any help appreciated. ......

Thanks for the link. I still couldn't find it.

My local shop (allstyles scooters in portsmouth) had nothing in stock and were not able to order one in. Also been to a very knowledgeable motorbike mechanic who couldn't help either.

Its the 3 pips on the side if the base which seem to be odd. The wattage/voltage are fairly common.

Thanks for the reply. The bulb holder diameter is the same as more modern vespas so a retro fit was possible.

I found this site yesterday and had lots of fun with Google translate. The bulbs are now on order.
