So, now that I have my PCX, I'm planning to add some underglow and visibility lighting. My Kymco People 150 had LED strips and such to keep it well lit and visible at night. I'll post updates as I have them.
Not sure if I want to hook them up through the battery tender jack with a switch or if I want to wire them through the rear light circuit so they're always on. Going to go with red since my PCX is black.

Cool! Make sure you post pictures when you're done.
Make sure they're legal in PA, especially if you use red. Some states don't like red other than as brake lights.

Very good detailed video , if I was you I'd have added red under glow at the back near engine and white at the front that way you can't be pulled over for having neons lol I read the light act it says red must be at the back and white at the front

I did red and purple. Here in PA it doesn't really matter what colors you use.

Re: Auxiliary lighting / underglow
I bought a set of these last summer and after much experiment decided scooters just don't give the desired effect. Too much cowling coverage unlike bigger bikes not enough structural cavities. However if all accents were directed to the ground from under lowest points on the carriage one might float nicely... but not my thing. If you need some more purple ones let me know.
