I am just doing up a PX 150 Vespa. I am wondering what is the best way to attach more spots lights to the Vespa without investing in a carry rack. Can the leg shields bars be used. I am new to this and would love some guidance and help.

Never done this, but if you have a windscreen perhaps you could mount them on the windscreen supports. Otherwise a front carrier?

Dill a hole in your fender and mount with a nut/bolt. Easy to do with something like this:

The headlight is a very bright 55/60 watt H4 bulb that's triggered by a relay. |

I installed one of the LED fog lights I linked further above on my Stella/LML. I wired it from the fork to the power input to the horn, it is always "on". I added it for extra light/visibility. I have had no problem with the extra power it draws. The main headlight still illuminates at idle, and achieves full brightness at speed.
