Dead lights are bright now. They also flash amber in unison with the pod turn indicators above each one.

Re: My Wife's Scooter has Arrived
I did not splice any wires while doing this and can restore to original in minutes. I wired to OEM style plugs. You have to be willing to press the 1156 bulb holder out of the reflector and press a new 1157 bulb holder into the reflector. Replaced the 1156 2 wire bulb holder with an 1157 3 wire bulb holder and made a harness that incorporates both functions.
Parts that I used wire (I tried to match the colors that PGO used, but you could use red and black effectively), wire sleeve, and the following, had a lot of extra connectors:

You can see the diagram better on the post I did on the following FB site.

Thank you, Nice work, you wouldn't by chance be willing to make up a couple and sell them to me? Thanks again, Shep

If you order items 1 & 3 from this guy. https://sites.google.com/site/vanagonhe ... oter-stuff
Strip the ground wire out of #1 (or 3) and wire both harnesses into the 1157 bulb holder; you got it. The connectors are fairly easy to disassemble.
You would also need 2 3 pin connectors (male and female sides) and two switch back bulbs.
If you wish to switch all of the turn signals to LED you would need item 4 or an equivalent.
