Garry,

A bit of punctuation wouldn't go a amiss.

What scooter? Vespa or Lambretta?

Do you mean 55/60w lamp, like an H4?

hi garry,
yes should fit reasonably easy, its the gp h4 halogen conversion, just plug all your wires into the new bulb holder,do one at a time if possible so you dont get confused, the earth wire is red,a strange coluor for an earth,but its just the way they come, connect this to one of the control rod screws so you get a proper earth, then you have the blue and yellow wire which push into the female wire connectors , i put i little insulation tape over them to make sure they cant short to earth, start it up and check your lights before you put it together, dont touch the glass part of the bulb, it makes them blow, any probs give me a shout,
cheers,
holty

im pretty sure it wont fit in the holty special rear light at all to be honest as would have thought it would be too bright as a rear light?
