Zuma Headlight Mod Install

I installed the headlight mod on my Zuma 125. The installation was pretty simple and only took about 20 min.

This is a great mod for any Zuma. It's cool that it showed you installing it literally single-handed too. Good work. 😜👍

I just installed it on my 2012 Zuma 50 and what a difference it makes when I took it out for a test drive tonight... on coming cars actually dimmed their high beams for me and I was much more visible on the road.

Robert, any dead battery. What Light bulbs did you use?

[@RobertDeloyd]

Funny you should ask... I noticed that my battery doesn't get a full charge after installing the headlight Mod. I was thinking of maybe getting different light bulbs.

[@hoosiereyedoctor]

Robert, how do you know it does not have a full charge? How do you test it?

[@RobertDeloyd]

I didn't have a problem starting until I installed the Mod. When I go to start and it doesn't start up right away I have to jump it to get it running. I use the Zuma to get my mail 6 miles away and you would think that a 12 mile run would charge it up. My Zuma has only 600 miles so I don't think it's a bad battery. I will check into lower wattage headlights... or maybe there's a way to tweak up the voltage coming from the generator?

found this on line for you. With the MVT inner rotor ignition system. Running dual headlights would slowly kill the battery. After running Dual Beams, you do not want to go back to single's. BUT...If I rode City, for a few hour's. Riding with the added brakes & turn signal usage, it would in time. Slowly kill the Battery enough to start effecting the turn-signal's & Fuel Gauge operation, it would become inaccurate. My idling volts were 12.3 - 12.7. Running it would reach 12.7 - 13.00 volts. After 1/2 hour driving. But it was a loosing proposition in the City. I would use more power, than I produced and it would, eventually draw down the battery. This is without, using any electric starting. Read more: 49ccscoot.proboards.com/thread/10807/cree-watt-leds-zuma-headlights#ixzz4Lg43Axk5

Double the lights, double the fun!

[@Stuff4Guys]

Hell Yea, and you can see better at night.

I had this dual head light kit with HID light kit ran it all summer last year. I had no problem with the battery drain yet.

[@hoosiereyedoctor]

Mike still no problem... What HID light did you use. Thanks Joe

[@kenj3137]

How many watts did you use?

[@SmokinOptimo]

Nice video now after you have rode awile do you feel you have any battery drain? I'd like to also have this mod but that is my concern..I have the exact same zuma SCOOT CREW!!

My used Zuma came with the mod with the 2 headlights, but I’m a year gone through 3 batteries and only used it once in 2 weeks. So I suspect it’s the dual headlight causing the battery drain and gonna see with one headlight, how the battery will hold. Bc these don’t have a a kick start, so when the battery dies, you’re stranded. Also, maybe why Yamaha designed these Zumas with one headlight bc of the battery drain? Anyway, I’ve read on these yt comments also on the battery drain issues

[@jacknjill3000]

Turnout the used OEM part I got was for the taillight and took apart today for nothing. Bc I didn’t know I had the wrong part until I took the front apart. But for me, the front plastic part was not easy to take off & put back on like for you when the plastic part just fell off with a tug. I was able to return it and figured out the part I needed and the same seller had, but had listed as the taillight wire. Seems they had the listing no mixed up. So hopefully when I get the correct OEM headlight wire, it’ll all work out and the battery won’t keep going dead. Anyway, thanks for showing us how to take the panel off and at least I know how to remove and put it back together. I also don’t want to keep taking it on and off and don’t want to break a clip while I’m pounding back on and not knowing if the clips are aliened. Honestly, these scooter should be made or designed better and not everyone has a scooter lift or tiny hands to place it exactly so.

[@nykid8849]

thanks for the video i was looking all over the web for this video do you have a video how to remove the front cover because people have trouble prying the cover out

[@hoosiereyedoctor]

Update please.... any battery problems after all the usage you have had? How about HID lights or Taillight changes so to lower the drain. We ride in Key West with lots of stops and starts with on and off. Do not want dead battery. Thanks Joe

[@BigDsHomestead]

Where did you get the lights and what kind?

[@MrZman0004]

Do you have any updates on this setup? Any battery drain on the 45w dual lights? Still bright enough for night time driving?

[@Stuff4Guys]

So far so good, no battery problems to report, and the night time driving is really good. Of coarse it would have to be with 2 45w lights instead of one 55w. Great mod, would totally recommend.

[@vkhiev]

Where can I buy this wire harness

[@dayuntoday]

is that a Rolex?
