5 of 5 Mounting adapter ring. Saturday, June 18, 2022
taco eater : Lucky Dog from Clearwater, FL United States  
I designed this 3d printed adapter that lets you rotate this headlight to the correct orientation and use the original chrome ring to mount.

NO MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO THE STOCK HEADLIGHT RING OR BUCKET.

Super simple print.

Also working on a NO MOD LED conversion that should work on any old scooter headlight that used this same bulb mount. Should work on 6v or 12v AC bikes... yes, most scooters do not convert the AC to DC on the headlight.

Testing the LED in my MB5 now to be sure it is durable enough. So far working great... MUCH BRIGHTER and only 8w / 16w.

I will pass what I find to treatland and hopefully they will be able to source the bulb.



Hope this helps.

3 of 5 Good for having a light, not for resto. Friday, February 21, 2020

I've purchased at least 5 of these for my bikes and clients,  they are consistent for sure and do work great.  However,  the fitment of this lense isn't perfect.  To fit you have to either cut your oem bucket to house the bulb socket (which with doing this you cannot run the cool headlight rim)  or you have to make little brackets to be able to mount the oem headlight bucket to the oem brackets then attach this lense to then fit the cool rim,  buy a few bulbs which are marked and then have fun getting the light to shine dead ahead.  I've had a few which shine left or right and shim accordingly.  This is good for the price,  however they have many options for cooler lights here on hand in my opinion.

fits mb5 headlight housing. the secondary smaller bulb holder is made out of poor quality rubber and is disintegrating after a year. the replacement bulb for the main is a 12volt 35/35 watt model number 6235J

2 of 5 Better Than Being in the Dark Sunday, August 16, 2015
taco eater : Mark from Penrose, CO United States  
O.K. replacement for the rare OEM part. Minor adjustment to headlight ring required to mount. Mounting tab orientation causes top of lens to be on the side, which means high/low beam moves left to right rather than up and down. Came with a 6 volt bulb. My MB5 is a 12 volt system, but bulb has not burned out yet.

4 of 5 Coooooool Friday, June 12, 2015
taco eater : Dirty 30 Dillon from CT  
Yeah, all my bulbs were blown. This one was a good replacement for the big one up front. You have to bend the old bulb tabs in to "capture" the replacement in the chrome ring. No big deal.

What did suck was even with a battery, I blew the low beam in about 5 seconds. High beam lasted for about 80 miles then left me stranded in a cold, dark void.

That also wouldn't be an issue but these bulbs are a pain to get. I'm gonna JBweld an automotive socket into this housing and forever be happy.

4 of 5 good if benji finds the bulbs Wednesday, August 29, 2012
taco eater : Scott Birdsey from Albany, NY United States  
i got this from perkllc a few years ago.  i can tell its the same cause of that weird lil yellow light on the side of the lens.  

anyway it uses these weird china bulbs i haven't been able to figure out..when i had to replace them i just got more from perk.  also the place i got my first puch kit when treats was still on ebay. score!

if benji finds out the bulbs this lens is totally worth it.  everything is fine about it other than that and it does use a dual filament bulb for high / lo.  oh i think you mightve had to bend the tabs on the stock headlight ring, but was not a hassle.
