Vespa LX LED headlight upgrade | Mitch's Scooter Stuff

In this video I am going to show you how to upgrade to an LED headlight with some modifications to make it work. Bummed I forgot to grab some before clips so you can see the difference. Will make other one in the future. LED bulb improves your vision at night and looks much better too!

Mitch dude! I used to spend ages watching this fantastic dude teaching me GoPro tips and tricks on his amazing KZbin channel. Now I've gone looking for tips to freshen up my Vespa LX and lo and behold...it's you again dude!! Just how bloody fantastically awesome are you!! Thank you so much!

[@gusanson1134]

i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@micahkabir5407]

@Gus Anson instablaster =)

[@gusanson1134]

@Micah Kabir i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@gusanson1134]

@Micah Kabir It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out !

[@micahkabir5407]

@Gus Anson happy to help :)

[@MarceloGebrael]

Thanks Mitch, keep posting more updates about LX, please!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

You’re welcome! Yes got more coming!

[@AngryKingProductions]

Scooterwest sells an LED kit that is plug and play and doesn't involve any rigging. Just installed it and was a lot easier than this looks. (Your videos are awesome, btw! Was able to finally replace my dash clock battery thanks to you!)

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Yeah that website sell is expensive light 🤯 But easy install is nice 😄👍🏼 Thank you so much! Glad dash battery video helps! Ride safe!🤙🏼

[@miketayse]

I'm riding a Paiggio Liberty 150, but still like watching your vids! Keep up the great work. Don't need a bulb yet, but when I do, I'll certainly give it a shot. I bought a tool on your site, thanks!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Nice Liberty! I hope I find a Liberty to make videos! Thank you!

[@markpsenicka1]

@@MitchsScooterStuff I also have a Liberty 150 (two actually) and it drives me crazy that the headlight is different than the side lights. Would this video apply to the Liberty? Same process, parts, etc.?

[@abelardomoraesjunior135]

Aqui no Sul do Brasil as pessoas estão começando a descobrir o prazer de ter uma Scooter, assistindo seus vídeos, já estou prestes a comprar uma Yamaha Neo 125.

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Fantástico!! Doce!

[@schubird]

I'd love to see a NA to Euro turnsignal conversion similar to this :) Thanks for sharing!

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Yes! I did that too, I will post that video

[@danhostiuck4453]

FYI, there are two tabs that need to be popped on both sides of the headset at around the 1:43 mark. They are broken on the headset in the video and it’s why the front of the headset can be removed by just pulling on it. They are a royal PITA the first couple times. You have to kind of push the front and back headset pieces apart then slide a flat screwdriver in to pop the tab out.

[@no-prophet]

@Kase Jaziel Why the hell you'd want to do that? Is she cheating on you?

[@colinsharp1314]

Top job mitch looks great 👍

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Thanks Colin!

[@timtaylor8557]

The problem with those led headlight bulbs is the fan. when that fan goes up, and it will, the bulb will die. It already didn't sound great in the video. You could hear it vibrating when turning. Better off with a high quality halogen.

[@ademkollari8992]

Mitch, shell out for plastic trim remover tool, bro. Great videos, thanks.

[@Halloweenkieran]

You inspire me My friend With my bike 🏍 👍👍👍

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Awesome 😄🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ItsLotus99]

Have you considered upgrading the dash warning bulbs to LED also so they're brighter? I'd really like to see the high beam one better during the day as I run it for better visibility...

[@MrMLajoie]

theres some beautiful background bird sounds here

I would like to see the assembly of the red engine stop button on the vespa lx 150 2006

[@Gave77]

Yes man, great job!

[@timngu]

Youre a boss Mitch, have been following you for two scooters already. Had the Piaggio New fly first and now just bought the lx. Glad that I can still lean on your video’s! I saw that you’re headlight already turned on by switching the key. Mine only turns on when the motor starts. Why is that? Could you maybe also do a video on your led daytime running lights? Love them 😍

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

That's awesome T! Ahh it sounds like your LX is AC.... the purple one on the video is DC.... LED works great with DC but not AC :( ... I am working on how to do AC to DC converter... Yes I have a video about daytime running lights! Glad you asked about it... I forgot I have video that I need to edit to share! 😄🤙🏼

[@timngu]

@@MitchsScooterStuff cant wait for that vid man. Keep it up 💪🏽

[@vidarolausson2441]

It seems that the low beam are mounted aside instead of upwards? In darkness it would be hard to see the road I guess.

[@darrenkaspers9331]

So what was the box bit you put on after the rubber cover?

[@MabrysDad]

Great vid! Thanks.

[@Lamvesp]

Thank you for that.

[@arioskuter8926]

Hi Mitch, I think you made mis-procedure. The correct procedure is, after you put the black & the white socket, it should followed by putting the rubber seal before the LED bulb itself. So you don't need to cut the rubber seal. Cmiiw.

[@sarolinesaroline4371]

Good job very nice

[@francescorenna]

Ciao Mitch, sai come posso mettere delle lampadine a led sul mio SR 50 Aprilia del 1994?

how to adjust the light height properly using the phillips screw?

Thanks Mitch , do you have any idea how much coast to repaint the LX50 for ?

[@rudra6953]

Do we need to convert ac to dc?

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Nope, don’t need to for this model LX

[@jollycanna701]

How would I get more power for uphill climbs on my vespa 150 2001. I want to ride off road in the mountains... I want to ride poli poli. And the grade on more then one part is very steep I'm about 300lbs. It use to do haleakala well enough to go to the top.

[@haniazazel8124]

Well done mate ! I've got a question , when do I change my scooter's gear oil ? I mean at how many kilometers ?

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Thanks! Change every 4828 kilometers

[@knightshado]

Excellent video. I have a 2007 LX 50 4T is there a way to convert it so the lights come on when I turn on the key. The lights only come on when the engine in running, which I think means the lights are powered by the stator while the engine is running.

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Hey, your LX should have DC system like but it's AC... weird... this Vespa in the video is 2007 too. I'm working on a setup to convert AC to DC for my Vino... little tough

[@matejkadlec2110]

@@MitchsScooterStuff 50cc models run the headlight on AC straight from the stator. I run LED in my LX50 and it flickers horribly at idle :(

[@theodoreolson8529]

I live in Viet Nam. I'm shopping for a scooter and will probably end up with a 50cc Honda. My question is, if you were to recommend a Vespa to a first time scooter owner, which model would it be?

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Hey, Honda is always best! Vespa first model.... if you are getting a used one... I would go for ET or LX 150cc .... if no motorcycle license then get 50cc

[@theodoreolson8529]

@@MitchsScooterStuff I ended up buying an electric scooter from Vinfast (a Vietnamese company). I bought the Impes model, top speed is about 50KPH (31mph) which is fine for city traffic here. I drive about 5km to work and back. I can get by charging it once a week.

Hi. I want to ask you a question. What kind of xenon did you put in your Vespa?

Led bulb in description box

Yes! In description I was saying that bummed I didn’t make before / after test 🤦🏼‍♂️ brighter than stock bulb and less watts too 👍🏼

Mitch, any idea if this LED bulb would fit an ET2? thanks

[@MitchsScooterStuff]

Hey, does your ET2 headlight come on with key turn on without engine? If so, not sure if LED will work... but I am working on how to do AC to DC converter

@@MitchsScooterStuff My 2t et2 Vespa headlight comes on only when the engine is running. Is this the same scenario on your purple LX, Headlight w/engine on only?
