After 2 years of ownership I ended up riding by TV175 at night for the first time, the headlight is completely useless! Its a 12v electronic system and a 35w/35w halogen bulb. I was told to use a lower wattage gave you a brighter light, but apparently not, did have a higher rated bulb in but had to remove it as it was one of those `2high beams` type bulbs and the MOT man no likey.
Has anyone used a sparkright conversion in this type of scoot, only heard of it in GP, any other ideas gratefully received
regards
Dave

my set up is identicle to yours (TV175S3; 12v electronic and 35/35 Halogen) and the lights are superb.
Be inclined to check out connections etc first just in case

i think one of the German or Austrian shops was selling a modern headlight conversion for those types.

You can convert to use a 55/65 watt H4 halogen if you are prepared to "modify" your headlght holder assy. Try the search function fo "H4" I'm sure you'll find something on the forum.
I'm about to have a play with an H4 myself.

You might want to ask them to "form" the conversion ring as they come flat laser cut and are a bit of a ballache to bend into the required shape
