The carts are more like an old school car, but from your comment please do not attempt this yourself. I have had to fix several installations done by DIYers. Most carts have a main fuse, and if you exceed the ratings, it blows, and the cart is dead, I have seen this a few times on gas carts. I use separate fusing and a relay to isolate the additional lighting. NOTE: some of the newer carts have electronic self cancelling turn signals, and i have no idea how much additional load these electronic modules can handle.
