"Gilera Runner" headlight "TNT" (Carbon style)

The "TNT Carbon" style headlight is one of the most popular tuning touches for "Gilera Runner" scooters. This headlight gives the scooter an aggressive, modern and sporty "look", and the imitation carbon-fibre (carbon) housing goes perfectly with darker body panels or creates a bold contrast with bright colours.

Key features

• Twin optics: Instead of the original one-piece lens you get a twin optical system, which not only looks "menacing" but also modernises the front of the scooter.

• Carbon imitation: The housing has a quality imitation carbon-fibre pattern finish, which gives a higher-class "racing" image.

• Design: Matches the shape of the "Gilera Runner" front mask perfectly (especially first- and second-generation models).

Expert tips: fitting and use

1. Electrical connection: "TNT" headlights are rarely 100% "Plug & Play". Be prepared to rewire the connectors. As the "Gilera Runner" wiring has separate wires for dipped and main beam, we recommend soldering or using professional electrical connectors to avoid oxidation and loss of contact due to vibration.

2. Beam direction: This is the most important part of fitting "aftermarket" lights. As the reflectors differ from the factory ones, always adjust the beam height after fitting. This is done with the screws on the back of the headlight housing.

3. Vibration and mounting: "Runner" scooters have fairly strong engine vibration. Make sure the headlight screws firmly to the body panels. If you feel any play, we recommend fitting thin rubber spacers between the housing and the panel – this reduces noise and protects the "carbon" pattern from rubbing.

FAQ: frequently asked questions

Does the "Carbon" pattern fade in the sun?

"TNT" uses quality materials, but like any plastic exposed to direct UV rays for long periods, the pattern may lose a little of its shine over a few years. To keep it looking "fresh" for longer, we recommend using plastic polishes with UV protection.

Is this headlight brighter than the original?

This headlight is primarily about style. The twin optics give a brighter, focused beam, but because the reflectors are smaller, the light spread may differ from the large original lens. In town it shines very well.

Does it fit the "Gilera Runner" 125/180cc?

"TNT" headlights are usually designed for 50cc bodies, but many body panels (the front mask) are identical on 125/180cc models. Even so, we always recommend checking the shape of your scooter's mask before buying – if your model is an "SP" (newer), make sure the headlight shape matches.

The "TNT Carbon" headlight is one of the most effective ways to quickly change the look of a "Gilera Runner" from "stock" to "sport".
