Piaggio 293880 Headlight Bulb Holder – Vespa ET2, ET4, Liberty 50 and Aprilia Rally 50 (1995-2005)

This is the headlight bulb holder for Vespa ET2, ET4, Piaggio Liberty 50, and Aprilia Rally 50: the white plastic support that holds the headlight bulb in place and supplies power through three metal contacts. It is replaced when the contacts blacken, the light makes false contacts, or the body cracks due to heat. Product code 293880.

✓ Strengths

• Genuine Piaggio Group spare part – this is code 293880, which the official spare parts catalog indicates at position 11 on the headlight diagram.
• Correct bayonet socket – accommodates the BA20D dual-filament bulb specified by the manufacturer, without adapters or force.
• Three metal contacts with flat terminals – low beam, high beam, and ground remain separate and clean, and the fastons connect to the original wiring.
• Resolves false contacts – this is the most common cause of the light going out on bumps or staying fixed in only one position.
• Direct installation – simply slide the old one out from the back of the headlight and insert the new one: no modifications to the optical unit are required.

Who is it perfect for?

For those who ride a Vespa ET2 or ET4, a Liberty 50 or a Rally 50 and find their low beam flickering, the bulb rattling in its socket, or oxidized contacts heating up and deforming the plastic. This is a small, inexpensive part that often solves a problem that seems to be electrical: before changing wiring, switches, or even the entire optical unit, it's always best to start here. It also makes sense as a spare part for a vintage vehicle, given that these models have been out of production for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicles does it fit?
The official spare parts catalog specifies bulb holder 293880 for Vespa ET2 50, ET2 injection, ET4 50, ET4 125 Leader, and Vespa 50 4T, for Piaggio Liberty 50 in 2T and 4T versions from the historical catalogs 1998-2005, and for Aprilia Rally 50 Air from 1995 to 2004. The table above provides the complete list.

What bulb does it take?
The socket is BA20D bayonet type and accommodates the dual-filament bulb specified in the catalog for the same diagram: a 12V 35/35W, Piaggio code 219528. The bulb is not included with this item: here you are buying only the bulb holder, so if the bulb is also spent, it must be ordered separately.

Where exactly is it located on the vehicle?
It is inside the front optical unit, inserted from the back of the headlight: it's the white piece visible when lifting the fairing or removing the cowl. In the official catalog, it appears on the headlight diagram at position 11, right after the bulb and the other bulb holder at position 10.

How many pieces are needed?
Only one is needed: the catalog indicates quantity 1 per vehicle, because there is only one front headlight. The price shown therefore refers to a single bulb holder. If you are refurbishing the lighting system of two identical vehicles, remember to add two items to your cart.

Is it original or an equivalent?
It is a genuine Piaggio Group spare part, identified by factory code 293880: the same component distributed by the official network, not an aftermarket equivalent with a cross-reference. Moon Bike S.r.l. is an authorized Piaggio and Aprilia dealer and ships with an invoice and manufacturer's warranty.

How can I be sure it's the right one?
Compare the installed part with the photos: the 293880 has a white body, a central bayonet socket, and three metal contacts with flat terminals. Please note that on the same diagram, there is also a bulb holder at position 10, which has a different code. If in doubt, send us the VIN and we will check it for you in the official catalog.
