It might be under the rear body panel up above where the oil dipstick is... What was wrong with your old one?

Here's a pic of the wiring, just in case... Mine all melted when my regulator went bad! I had to make a new connector.

I'm not sure about that, but I've heard that these regulators are pretty shoddy. I bet the cheap batteries don't help much!

The derestriction wouldn't harm the voltage reg. Once your scoot is derestricted, it is running how it was designed to be.
The broken voltage reg. is more likely to be down to the battery being faulty. Have you had any battery problems?

Not really. But i might have over charged it. 3 mounths ago it went flat then i charged it maybe the reason is that. Anyway i changed it today and ride it all day. So no light bulbs problem. Thanks a lot. by the way which forum is about brakes problem i will need to change the pads soon. thank u

Not yet, I've been trying to contact Dale, and I even went to the place, but it's been closed all week. Maybe they're only open on the weekends?

Could be, It was Saturday when I was there. You would think that they would be open evenings.
