Hi All,
I wonder if any techie guys out the can help!
I have just bought a 2005 Gilera runner SP 50 but have notice that the lights remain on at all times & that there is no on/off or H/LOW beam switch and that the high beam blue light is blanked off .

Is there anyway that this can be rectified or converted by purchasing a switch as there is a wired connector beneath the blank cover and do I need to do anything else as driving around is not a problem but not to have an option of on/off and h/low beam seems pretty poor!

your thoughts and ideas would be gratfully appreciatted.

new 50cc scooters only have to have main beem and new EU means all bikes must have lights on all the time

bro had a 50sp no way u can change anythink as the bike has not got power to light up headlights of a 125 that has a H1 and H3 bulbs

just buy a 125 or a biger bike mate

Thanks for the reply
but is it possible to wire in a high/low beam switch light & by changing the bulbs to double filament but obviously keeping them permantly on instead of a on/off switch is it illegal ? you see all the young idiots driving around with fluorescent lights under the belly pan, just a thought Ive seen newish speedfights with h/l beam lights

any idea would be grateful & CAN'T AFFORD TO CHANGE BIKE!

regards
gary

You probably could wire both bulbs on at the same time, but be weary that the bulbs on the bike are dim for a reason, as the engine dont put out much power.

I would rather fiddle the rear light so its brighter to be honest, as they are so dim on the open road.
