I am in absolute disbelief at this.
I drive a Hyosung Racing Prima 50cc scooter. I've recently been having ongoing issues with the scooter's front headlight blowing out regularly. Generally when this happens, the light becomes bright for a moment and then quickly dims out. Both beams don't go out simultaneously; the low-beam goes out first, then when I switch to the high-beam and run that for a while, that too eventually burns out. It seems to occur momentarily after starting the ignition in most cases.
Everybody I talked to told me that the issue was with the regulator, so I went ahead and ordered a new one, then had a mobile repairman install it along with a new headlight. The problem occurred again, so I took it to the dealership which said the regulator was working fine compared to the old one (which was overcharging) and that it simply had not been installed properly, and was therefore not getting "good ground" in their words. So they reinstalled the regulator last Friday along with a new headlight bulb, and tested both the voltage and the scooter to make sure.
After me taking it out and driving it around for three days, the bulb has blown out yet again. I am completely bewildered and I have no idea what the problem is anymore. It seems that no matter what I do to try and fix the issue, the scooter just keeps blowing headlights.
