Modern Vespa

I ordered some. They have no hi lo position and they are not even close to being bright enough for a headlight


too bad

NoS

I tried them too!! look on e bay for the zenon filled h4 v cheap and they do them in a 90w/100w i have them in my car make halogen bulbs look like candles LOL

H4 HID Zenon On Left 90w/100w -- Halogen On Right Nuff said.

see told you so!! lol thanks for the pic

PS Nitro, alcohol was invented to stop the Irish taking over the world ! lol

That is too bad. LED is clearly a technology whose time is here!!
There are some good LED headlight things happening, but it is in bicycle lighting! In Germany, where they make ze goot lights, both Busch & Muller and Schmidt are making nice bicycle oriented LED lights, and their most recent ones are really good. I think that LEDs of that quality, arranged in a good reflector, with a nice heat sink would be a good scooter headlight.

I would love to give it a shot, but the lights are expensive (they are very high quality), and I am about as likely to make a functional LED headlight as I am to iron out the kinks in Pond & Fleischman's Cold Fusion Theory.
Let us hope someone of skill and perseverance takes on the job.

Almost... like you said, they're still expensive and the high powered ones are not quite ready for such a critical application. Give it another 3-5 years and mark my words, they'll be all the rage. Especially as more and more plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles will be hitting the roads, LED's will be used even more often, in order to minimize power consumption in those vehicles.

Actually the Audi R8 has it as an option to the HID headlight. If I heard about it correctly.

The thing is using it on a regular housing kinda defeat the purpose. The whole idea about using LED is a smaller/thinner headlight housing, using (much) smaller reflector/projector on each bulb, and also because it's such a cooler light source... way less heat generated, no need for cooling space/area.

I have HID on my bike, running 35W instead of 55W, but with more illumination. It's great!
