Thumbs up I Agree.....

It would be nice if some of these carts would have their lights adjusted. As I get older I notice night driving gets harder with headlight glare, dirty windsheilds, rain, etc.. Meeting a cart with extremely bright lights on bridges, narrow paths (like the bridge to Sumter), and tunnels can be very scary and dangerous. Bright lights behind you can also be blinding in your mirrors.
My question is how to address the problem of 6-8 volt batteries. Lights are designed for 12v and with 8v batteries, you have a choice to run the lights at 8v or 16v. I know you can install a converter for around 130-150 to give a 12v output that balances the load across the whole batttery bank, but that isn't always a viable option. So, what do we do?

P.S. BTW Dave, Where is Lakewood?
