I hate the tail/brake lights that come stock on a lot of scooters. I've had the same issues as you with them. The housings suck. I installed LED tail/brake light assemblies on all of my scoots. You can get 'em really cheap on eBay. No more trouble, less power consumption. Links below that might give you some ideas.

Is that your only electrical issue or is there more to it?


What color is the smoke and when does it smoke (all of the time, acceleration, idle...)?

[Goosey]

Not a fix,but preventive. I go over the wireing and zip tie loose jumbles of wires to the frame, and electrical tape connections that are likely to vibrate loose. The blinker and tale lights have terrible plug connections in the back that can easily come loose, very easy to tape them.

thanks

idk what the smoke was but it aint happening anymore been running fine

and the tail/brake light idk im about to go thru n zip tie and elec tape everything down i got a new bulb last night which was working fine tail and brake lights both working. then after two hours of riding i get home and see that my tail lights been out idk how i didnt get pulled over lol took off the light same thing again spin the bulb 180 degress and you have tail lights but no brake lights spin it again 180 degress and vice versa

so im assuming theres a short or overload maybe somwhere?

No. It's just a crappy setup and all the vibrations of these scoots kill it in short notice. Trust me. I've been through it. I've replaced them sockets with replacements from an auto parts store, vibration killed them the same. It's either do an LED assembly and forget it from then on, or expect issues from time to time or maybe regularly.


Here's an eBay search to give you an idea of just how affordable an LED swap can be as long as you're capable and willing to make it fit somewhere.

Just be careful to check all measurements. Some of them are quite small. Obviously you want plenty of light so everyone can see you.
