It's normal for the scooter.   The faster you go the brighter your light...well up to a point anyway.

On D.O.T. legal motorcycles, the headlights are tied directly to the magneto, so at ide, the mag. is only putting out roughly 1/3 of it's total capability. So, it's perfectly normal for the headlights to be a bit dim when idling, then brighten to full brightness as you accelerate.
