The LED turn signal lights from The Villages Golf Cart on my new EZgo are amazing. Big arrows front and back on the side mirrors and lots of blinking yellow lights along the sides. I wish my car had turn lights so visible. When driving a golf cart around here at night, apart from the headlights, being seen by drivers is crucial.

Default Here's a bright idea!

Go on Amazon and look for "LED golf cart light kits." They run around $100 or so, and include tail lights/brake lights and turn signals as well as headlights that will fit your cart perfectly. Then go to the fellow who installed mine: Eric at Cart Clinic (352) 361-1019. He's fast, friendly and reasonable, and he can fix anything on any cart - probably right at your house.

I know there have been times that I wished the headlights also lit up more of the sides of the road.
It's called radiant light

Yep. I installed these on my cart. Along with fog type driving lights which REALLY light up the cart paths.

Add any type of additional lights you want. Just make sure they are aimed properly so oncoming drivers are not blinded. The other night we were driving down El Camino and was blinded by a golf cart and an oncoming car at the same time. Thank goodness district 2 cares enough to put stripes down the middle of the MMP.

Your request is understandable. Many Carts come this way. HOWEVER, there seems to be many, many, thoughtless folks installing exceedingly brrillant, mis-aimed addtitions to their Carts, blinding oncoming traffic. Just the other day I was blinded while on the roadway, by a cart two lux under starring at the Sun. I despise any regulations, but let's get Real With your needs to see a thousand yards ahead. Afterall, The VI'll ages have worked hard to reflective outline MMPS.

You may try adjusting the stock headlights, it requires a small phillip's screwdriver. The adjustment screw is located in the center of the headlight assembly. Make sure the front tires are turned to allow easier access.

Yes, add the locomotive led lights that blind everybody coming at you, even vehicles on road adjacent to cart path.

Which MMP’s have the put on reflective outlines? I wouldn’t trade my spot of paradise down south for any of you northerners places and our MMP’s are pretty dark down here. That’s why my light bar will show a thousand yards (yeah, right) ahead.

To each, their own……

You’re light bar blinds on coming traffic, but it’s about me right.

Actually, it’s your, not you’re.

No, it’s really about not running over people that wear black clothing or no lights/reflective strips while walking the MMP’s when it’s dark.

Why would you need those with all the led lights?
But, agree better than the barge lights.
