Hi All,

Ive just had this delivered. My first motor vehicle ever. Only just sat on it. Dont even have a provisional yet.

Bought it knowing the front lamp doesnt come on, so thats my question.

What should i do?

I was thinking get a bulb and give it a bash.

All else fails, buy the haynes manual and get stuck in?

Good stuff!

Does the high beam work?
Yep pull the bulb and check the filament and volts.

HI
Hi whiteyoh, good to have you aboard. If it is your bulb that is duffed go for the halogen upgrade as the stock bulb is only 35w the halogen is still only 35w but it is a" cleaner" white . I have fitted the twin euro style headlight to my ET4 and found it to be a massive improvement http://www.scooterwest.com/item_details/Piaggio-Xenon-Euro-Headlight-With-Bulbs/181 you can also find them on ebay for about £20-30 good luck Bill

Hi Thanks for the responses. And in advance please be patient as im a 100% road newbie. Provisional on its way, insurance sorted, CBT in a couple of weeks.

Ive got a whole set of bulbs.

Ive checked the fuses (i think). They are tucked down the side of the battery under the seat right?

Ive checked all lights.. indicators both fine, break light fine. Nothing for the two head lights.

Ill have a propper read of your posts and come back. Ive got a generic haynes manual, but a specific et125 manual is on its way
