That is cool... You got a nice looking scoot. Mine is a MC-13-250 scoot and the horn is under the steering columb. It is a cheapy scoot compared to yours.

Have 1 for ingenuity! After all that work getting to it, I'm surprised you didn't put air horns on.

Thanks. I ordered 5mm LEDs to make the dummy turn signal work. When I do it, I might consider putting air horns. By the way, wouldn't it be too loud?

If it isn't loud enough, it's no good. Air horns like the Wolo BadBoy and Steubel Nautilus are really loud and that's good. You can either just tap the horn button or really blast out a long one. I have the Wolo BadBoy on both my scoots. You have to get through cell phone use, mega sound systems in some cars, and daydreaming drivers, etc. You may startle someone, but this may save your life. 66 |

don't you have to convert the headlamp circuit from AC to DC in order to drive the HID's?

The headlight circuits on the 250 scoots are already DC. Regardless, most people will connect the HID's directly to the battery through a relay with a 20 amp fuse or through the control box if it is a hi/lo HID setup. Here is a simple diagram of the relay setup on a standard HID setup.  66 |

In my Malaguti the default original headlamps are two 35/35W H4 bulbs. Last autumn I installed two 55/60W H4 bulbs instead. The improvement was good. But yesterday I installed two HID H4 bi-xenon to my scooter.
WOW!!!
Major difference!!! I can highly recommend for everyone.
I took pictures where I'm with scooter in dark garage and shoot low and high light to garagedoor.
Before pictures are with normal H4 55/60W bulbs. And after pictures are with xenon.
I'm at work right now, but I can try to upload the images here at the evening or tomorrow.

Difference between two H4 55/60W Osram +50% halogen vs. two H4 bi-xenon 4300K in my Malaguti Madison S250. Picture does not make justice for xenon because of camera settings. In real life these xenon beats those halogens in every situation. All I can say, this was the best mod for my scooter.  (Typo in picture. Really xenon 4300K not 3400K) ps. If anybody now thinks about installing xenon for his scooter, take 4300K or 5000K. Not any above or you loose lightning power. I wouldn't change these 4300K to 5000K. These are great! |

Yep. HID is the way to go. Whenever I buy a thing with headlight(car, motorcycle, scooter, ...) I install HID first. It's worth every penny and very cheap to install nowadays.

I plan to install HID lights on my Hyosung MS3-250. I think that it is not enough to install only xenon bulbs. Maybe something like this  It is a complex task because we need to disassemble the lamps. |
