How did you install your signals on your vintage Vespa? Where do you get the electricity from? Do you get it from the head / taillight wire?

I'd just get an independent LED set powered by batteries so you don't have to mess with your stock wiring.
I've actually given this considerable thought and was lucky to get a nice set of old moped aftermarket turns from jimh in his Lend a helping hand thread.

They're battery powered & 'quick mounting' so I can remove them if I'm somewhere I won't be using them.
I DO like 'em when there's lot's of traffic.
I wanted them to look pseudo stock, as much like the stock turns on later US bikes as possible. Like this:

Only half done, the fronts are only mocked up still awaiting some ear welding & drilling, then I'll mount to the clamp bolt - but you asked today.

Yes! This is what I was looking for!!! Thanks so much! I guess this is a common problem.

How did you connect the front signals with the rear ones? Where did you install the wire connecting the front and rear turn signals?

Awesome! It would be awesome to have radio controlled ones so you don't even need to wire them...

Thanks so much!
