After a few mainbeam and highbeam bulb failures due to high revs and unregulated power, in April edition of Scootering there was a tech feature on upgrading lighting etc., here it said a company who I have just contacted provide a 6v regulator which the site owner assures me will stop the bulbs blowing and I also ordered an LED stop/tailight board which fits into rear light with little modification, all for less than 60 quid. Will let you know the results when I have received and fitted it 
How much would you expect to pay? He has charged 29.95 for it. Maybe through my mistake, someone else might not get ripped off so if you have a source that is cheaper let everyone know eh 
smoke with no rear light but the brakelight worked, have emailed the guy, and all I have had in response is if it was wired up as per instructions there should be no problems!! Oh no! It must be me! I spent nearly 60 quid and totally fuckin' ignored the instructions and wired it all upto the coil instead haha! Have just emailed him and asked if he has ever fitted these products to a smallframe vespa, wonder what the response will be?!( if he can be bothered to reply as he hasnt to the last 3 emails I sent!) It totally pisses me off when some fucker gives bad advice which costs me money and the worst of it is, I got his details from the scootering article so how many other people have been duped? 
He says the lights in total should all be regulated but how can you do that as the lights and the brakelight run from 2 separate coils in the magneto, think he will suggest fitting two regulators who knows but the unregulated brakelight led worked ok with the tail section blown? I am thinking I should have just changed the faulty headlight bulb and kept the money in my pocket
