I ordered the Running Light wiring harness from Jay (thatvwbusguy) for $25 shipped. The quality of the harness was unbelievable. Top notch indeed. I wish I would have taken some pictures of it before I installed it, but I was too excited to put it in and totally forgot.

I ordered the Cool White 1156 LED Bulb - Single Intensity 18 SMD LED Tower LED's from superbrightleds.com. PeteH recommended these to me.

Here's the link for those: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinf ... tower/163/

Shipping was super fast. I chose standard shipping and it arrived in less than two days from Missouri to Washington State.

These LEDs are a bit longer than the amber bulbs that come with the scooter, however they fit just fine with no modifications needed.

I've since moved all of the wires of the harness behind the seat cable and zip tied it in a few places, but you get the idea. This is a 2007 Buddy btw.

Thanks for the write-up and review. The harness and bulbs are now on my wish list.

Thanks for the post and the great pics! I just finished making a bunch of the new Deadlight to Running Light Adapters and finally got a chance to put a page on my website with a Buy It Now button to make purchasing simple.
