Vespa px125 main light

[gersnake]

Hello, Hope anyone can advise, all my lights work except my main bulb, which I replaced carefully wearing gloves, being halogen but no luck yet, what do I check first ? Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Was it working before you changed?
There are a lot of crap halogen lamps out there.
If it was working before revert back to old bulb, filament type??

Check the connections in bulb holder, check the prongs on bulb holder sometines these to be sprung to get a good connectiin to lamp.

Then get the multi meter out!!

Thanks gpowell, very much appreciated. I'll definitely check again tomorrow, just finished sorting my side panel indicators all is well there. Need to find a out if wiring is correct too on Cdi side? But then again wouldn't affect main light if all others working fine I suppose?

[gpowell]

Often its the simplest things, likely lamp or connections

After you have checked the connections pop the switch out and check nothing untoward on the soldered connections.

Cdi wiring wont affect lighting.

Cdi wiring, if the older ducati type, its colour coordinated with stator wiring the outmost green (the Right hand looking from back) is from the ignition switch

Good luck

Thanks again for that, gpowell.

Sorry I forgot to answer your first question regarding the bulb,yes was working a while back the scooter being off road since 2017, I've placed a new one in, still no luck?

Check all connections to and on bulb holder and the switch.

Are dip and full not working?

Just to add check you haven't severed a wire taking head set off and on in some way, then like gpowell says get the multi meter out, its an easy check😉👍.
If all other lights are working it should be an easy fix, on saying that my mate got his scoot out after a couple of years in his shed it was dead after looking it over we found a mouse nest  and the nest had the pieces of plastic wire in it, he was gutted🤣 It took me ages splicing the wires back, good luck

Sorry, Frank, just seen your question here, both high beam and dip not working.
