hey guys! its spring again and I'm getting out my scoot so i can start riding again (if it can hold up...) but besides the belt being broken (any advice? besides get a new one?) i noticed that my running day tail light isn't working but the braking light does... I'm fairly good at trouble shooting mechanical problems but when it comes to electrical, its lost me... lol... so thanks!

Did you try changing the bulb? Most scoots use an 1157 bulb which can be bought at any auto supply store or Walmart.

There are two filaments in the taillight. Either one can burn out while the other one will still work. They are independent of each other. Both filaments are inside the same light bulb.

Both filaments are inside the same light bulb. 66 alright there is two of the little (tiny!!!) filaments and the taller one looks to be not as in good of shape as the other one which i guess that would point to the need to buy a new bulb YAY! thanks 66!

Your welcome. It's nice when an electrical problem is only a light bulb. Scoots can have some weird electrical gremlins in them.
