Has anyone been able to get 2011 Leds. The stock bulbs suck so bad. I want to get white color if possible.

I retrofitted the LED headlight bulbs onto my scoot, but it wasn't a plug and play. I used my 3D printer to print a OEM type lock on mechanism to use with the LED bulbs. The LED bulbs that I used mimicked the H4 filament layout, making my high beam useless. I still haven't found a plug and play LED headlight bulb. I working on a better solution, ei looking for better designed LED bulbs. I recommend LED bulbs with Philips lumileds SMD LEDs. They provide the smallest bright LED chip that can more accurately mimic the OEM bulbs filament position. I'll add some pics, in an hour or so.

The led lights that i'm using have four led chips, per side of each LED "bulb", for the Low beam and another set for the High beam. Because of it the Headlights are too bright now. I'm looking for LED headlight "bulbs" that have 3 Philips Lumileds per side of the LED "bulb". The led lights i'm using aren't an official Philips product and might not even have authentic Philips LED chips. On official Philips H4 LED lights, they use 3 led chips per side for Low beam and a separate set for high beam.

Here is an example of the Philips H4 LED lights.

Here is a good review on the Philips H4 led retrofit. It shows how their LEDs work as good as halogen and why I'm looking to find the perfect chinese LED lights.

Definitely, just cover shipping. I would need to know the diameter of the LED retrofit.
Ill add the 3D model to my public thingiverse account.

I added the locking clip to thingiverse.com. It's for an LED bulb with an outside diameter of 18 mm.

i've been using the SYGNHOUSE led ribbbons for a couple of years now and they work beautifully. They are not the cheapest solution but are very good quality.

Neat, does it have Hi/Lo Beam?
How much did you pay for it?

the cost was around 320AUD so very expensive, but they are exceptional quality and nearly plug n play. I have replaced all the globes on my scoot with LEDs and these were the best quality by a mile.

So weird that they dont make the bulb as a led no more. I think it has to do with the socket that has to be turned on be placed on. I found a ph11 bulb that has same plug. But wattage output is at 55 watts.
