Buddy Kick deadlight experiment. Free adapter

Post by VSP »

If there are any Kick owners willing to bring their scooter to me in Tacoma, Wa, I'd be happy to take a look and see if there's a plug n play adapter I can make for it. You'd be compensated with free install and a free adapter for your time.

I know there are a bunch of you looking for a solution. I imagine it's a pretty simple solution. I just don't own a kick of my own to test my theory :)

Nothing on my end. I haven't been contacted by any local Kick owners.

Thanks for replying. I took the front cover off my wife's 2018 Genuine Buddy Kick. There were 2 plug in connectors just loose in there. I connected them, one for each deadlight, and the deadlights are now working as blinkers. So, now the pods and deadlights are all blinking. I was going to disconnect and remove the blinker pods, but my wife wanted them on and likes the look. Oh well, her scooter.

Sounds like slightly different wiring than the Buddy but it would be very easy to wire them as running lights.
