Depending one how your lights are hooked up, you may need adjustment to the harness and a converter and of course new battery pack wires.

If it were me, I would call a Club Car dealer to start my research. I would likely discover that it cost way to much for my blood and look for other alternatives, other shops, DIY, etc, but CC would get me started :D

Thanks for the info. My cart is an EZGO but I suspect the conversion kit would work. I am not having any problems yet and the batteries are still going strong. I will check the internet for the conversion kit and put out some feelers when I get ready.

When I bought the EZGO in 2008, there was a note at the bottom of the ad that mentioned that they would convert the 4X12 to 6X8 for a price when you bought the cart. The cost did not seem that high - $200 range.
