Maybe the other scoots are DC and this one you are trying to install it on is AC? Or, vise-versa. Bill 2 of them are peace sports and one of them Tao Tao, I doubt it. Worked on the Tao Tao not on the peace sports.

It might "work". But that blue color hasn't been shown to make a scooter faster...or even run better. But I agree.....Blue is an awesome color ! Not about making it faster, is about working. Why does it work on another scooter and the one it’s supposed to be on? Weird

The blue CDI's are crap and do nothing for performance. Same with the orange coils. See Brent's detailed testing videos. Also, if you removed the stock airbox and installed a "performance" air filter, you will need to re-jet the carb to get it to run. I have to upgrade to a 32 primary jet and a 85 main jet. Even if you get it to run at all without doing this, it will be way to lean and can damage your engine. Also, you will now have to tune your carb. if you live where there are temperature changes. I have to tune it for the summer, fall, and spring. Bill It works on my other scooters but not on the one I want to install it on

Hello all, I have bought a couple of performance kits before on amazon for my scooters and all have worked right. I bought one not too long ago that came with a spark plug, performance coil plug, gas filter, air filter and blue CDI, I installed everything but the air filter. Now the problem I am having is that when I plug in the blue CDI the scooter starts but then turns off, I plug the stick one back up and it starts right away. I really want to use the blue one. Any suggestions what might be going on? I got it from amazon.

So is that a go? Good idea?

Yes. In this case high beam wiring just means it gets power when the switch is set to high beam. It's not gonna aim the lights any higher. Hey how about if I get this type and connect the red blue and white to each prong? Know what I’m saying?

I meant I'd connect white to red, not blue. If you need to leave it switched to high beam, then you'll always have the high beam indicator on. Could be annoying. You could take the indicator lamp out, but it would certainly be much easier to hook it to the low beam wire. The leftover wire should be sealed off somehow and put where it's not going to contact a ground (not touching any metal on the scooter). Electrical tape over the end would do it. So connect white to red and green to black? And leave blue out? I thought blue was the high beam and white was the low beam?

You can connect either the blue (high beam) or the white (low beam) to the red wire. Green (ground) to black. I'd prob use the white wire, so your high beam indicator is not always lit. Ok so that leaves one wire without connecting to the red or black wire? Ok so by what you wrote connect blue wire to the red, then green wire to black, but where do I connect the white wire to? When you said you’ll probably use the white wire, what did you mean by that? Sorry I’m new to this and don’t want to mess it up. Just want to make sure I connect all 3 wire to the black and red wires.

Do you have any kind of marking on the connector of the headlight bulbs to indicate positive or negative? Without that I'm not sure how you'd tell what's what there. If it were a true H4 connector, it would have 3 prongs and you'd have a reference to what's what, but with just the 2 prong rectangle it can be flipped either way so who knows. For the harness/adapters that you have, red should be + and black should be -. In the scoots wiring, green is - and you could use either the white or the blue for +. One is high and one is low beam. With only 2 prongs, it doesn't matter which you use. Just T off one or the other to both lights so they'll both be on at the same time. Otherwise they'd swtich back and forth when you use the hi/lo beam switch. I'd solder or use butt connectors. I don't really see wire nuts as moto/auto connectors. Maybe the board allows them to be hooked up either way? Different manufacturers are using different setups. If nothing is marked and with no instructions, I'd think either it doesn't matter but when you deal with Chinese made products logic doesn't always lead you to the right choice. Ok here’s the picture of the original wiring. I have 2 of the same scooters, well I just got it actually lol. So I guess the blue is the high beam, white low beam and green power? Now how would I connect that to the adapter H4 adapter which has only a black and red wire? imgur.com/a/hdXtEnhHere’s my real question imgur.com/a/gO8Wm4H

No manual. Just the wires

Yes but I’m not going to google everything I need to do that defeats the whole purpose of me asking for help in here. Several members here besides myself have offered suggestions to HELP you. Its time for you to step up and put more effort on your part. If you cant figure out how to remove the plastics around the ignition switch, learn how to use tools to do the job, learn how things work by doing it yourself then maybe you should take it to someone that knows what they are doing and pay them to do it. You have never said what the year, make and model of your scooter is, but we are supposed to guess. You are not even helping us to help you. It’s a 2017 PEACE SPORTS TPGS-805 I will remove the plastic today. I bought a digital auto multimeter which could help me. I guess. So when I find the correct wire do I splice it with the led’s? And just put a connector to it?

Remove what plastics ? And do I have to have he switch on when I look for it? I don’t know how to use a multi meter Go to Youtube. Lookup how to use a multimeter. Lookup how a scooter ignition switch works/wired. Google the wiring diagram for your scooter and learn how things are wired. You did say you wanted to learn. Yes but I’m not going to google everything I need to do that defeats the whole purpose of me asking for help in here.

I only suggested the use of a relay because you never specified what type of LED lighting was being used in your FIRST post. Most swap out headlights to LED off road lights, and some then have decent current draw. The power circuit is usually fuses for 5 amps. Adding LED headlights to that circuit might be pushing the fuses/circuits capacity/limit. The contacts on the relay can handle more current than the key switch circuit/contacts. Now that you have specified what you are using,I think you could piggy back the "key on" positive side of the switch to power the lights. For safety, Id make sure there is a separate fuse for the the LED lighting. You will need to get yourself a multi-meter, remove the plastics and start checking the wiring at the key switch to see which one carries(switched) power to connect the lights to. Although most gy6 scooters wiring is the same, there are some variations out there. So saying, connect the LED positive wire to(XXXXXX)color wire might not be a true statement. You will have to do exploring with the multimeter yourself and figure it out. Remove what plastics ? And do I have to have he switch on when I look for it? I don’t know how to use a multi meter

Tried searching for it but you have too many posts . Can you link me to the thread if you would? Thanks in advance You could also use a multimeter to find out which wire it is ;D just connect the black lead of the multimeter to the ground/negative and pull the rubber boot off the contact switch so you can acces the exposed wire's.. then you will need to search for the one that will give 12v when it's on and no voltage when it's off It is led tho so it doesn't really take allot of power so you could power it from the contacts however the contact will wear out quicker and since a relay really isn't that expensive its not a bad idea how to wire it? just run a wire to the battery's positive and put it on the make contact of the relay (here is an pic i hope the link work's having gateway trouble..) tech.240sxone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/relay_diagram_02.gifthe trigger wire is the positive wire you found using the multimeter and the ground you could use a little crimp connector with a ring to put it on the bolt of the voltage regulator or just put an additional wire to the battery.(negative) and please don't splice in your cable harness where its hard to repair and don't cut too close to connectors so you have allot of room to repair it. and solder it.. i made the same mistake. Using those cheap splice connectors. spent a half day troubleshooting.;P i hope i helped you a bit and well i guess if ya have more question's just ask them i like explaining things (if i know where i am talking about xD) Ps fuse is optional but it is smart to install one to be sure if a short happens not everything burn's down to a pile of ash.... and some scrapheap steel 5amps should be plenty. Optional: www.dalroad.com/product/autoelettric-autoelettric-relays-with-fuse/ Can’t I just connect it with a 3 prong switch instead? Would that be easier? The kit already comes with a fuse so don’t need to buy one. And would I still need a relay? How would I connect he relay if I’m using a 3 prong Switch to switch it on and off?
