Good job on it so far.
What kind of lights are you gonna use? Stock? The Ruckus folks seem to like high dollar PIAA lights, but there are some Pilot driving lights at Wal-Mart and Pep Boys for $20-30 last time I looked that would be pretty sweet. I'm using Pilot 55W round lights on T2 and they are so much nicer than any of my stock scooter housings with bright bulbs.

I wired mine up just like the stock AC lights. All I did was change the connectors.

Can i run both these lights or just one but here are some mounting mock-ups, I kind of like the single one on the very bottom on the forks or just one in the center.I wont try to do any wiring till later just want to see what they look like on the scoot today   |

I think the one light mounted on the bottom looks best. Clean.
You'll only be able to power 1 at a time. I have 2 mounted, but one is high and one is low. If I turn both on for the "passing" option, they both shine dim. Really, there's no use for 2 with mine. Seems that there's a pretty specific angle that will provide the best light, so more or less one is a backup and aimed a little high to look brighter in the daytime. I'd try them out before you mount anything and see how they project, then decide if you want 1 or 2 and where.

From the picture I thought the lights were going to be big! They are quite small though.
Most scooters don't put out much power on the lighting side.

I was thinking about white also, but then I looked at some old Richard Petty car pictures and thought about a reddish-orange?
I just gotta have one of those ruckus style scoots.
Just keep riding,
