Headlight keeps burning out Tao Tao 50

Just a quick tip for anyone who runs into this problem. The small bulb for the high beam indicator on the speedo can burn out and leave the circuit grounded. This will burn out your headlight.

Also if you need a headlight ask the guys at O'Reilly's. My local store has them behind the counter for about $2.50. Buy a few spares while you're there.

Another cause of headlight burn out is a failing voltage regulator. The voltage generated rises as the rpms increase. If not limited, the voltage could get so high it caused filament failure.
I never even thought to ask as O'Reilly's.
