I would like to add extra lights to my scoot (brake, turn, and running lights). I am looking at flexible, waterproof LED strips about 9 to 12 inches long, with 12 to 18 LED's on each strip. The cool part is that I can attach them nearly anywhere.
My question is this: will I overload my stock electrical system if I tap into the wires running to my brakes and turn signals? I added a small (4 LED) "third eye" brakelight when my scoot was nearly new, but if I add an extra strip to the front and back turn signals, 2 strips for the brakes, and another 4 as marker lights, am I trying to add too much?
Reading through older posts looking to see if these questions had been asked before, I read that it is recommended to replace the original battery. Is there a serious problem with them? I still have the original battery(over 2 years old) and it seems to work fine: should I replace it before it causes problems, or leave it be until it dies?
Thanks in advance for any insights anyone may have!
