Default Golf Cart Headlights

Any place I can go or anyone I can call that can do a headlight upgrade?

Check TV classified section, cart parts. Ron changed my headlights to led and a new world appeared. Quick and a fair price.

I have added motorcycle (DOT approved) driving lights that if aimed correctly light up the road and do not blind on coming drivers. These were setup on a separate switch and fuse, and I only use when necessary.
If you decide to do a DIY, I would advise going to LED headlights and NOT halogen, there are many kits available and these should use the same cutouts and mounting holes already in your cart.

Yup. I used Ron to add a rooftop brake/turn signal light on my old cart...

Just so you are aware- thats a 5 LED light...There are places that sell a 3, a 4 and a 6 LED light. Not all LED light installs are the same, and I find many shop price and not look into the gory details of why something is less expensive. 6 LED lights are 4 dollars more and if your going for more light.

Several years ago I had Todd Casey upgrade our 2014 Yamaha EFI headlights to LED. A huge improvement in visibility and way less amperage draw on the battery. The old lights amp draw heated up the light switch, which doesn’t happen with the LED’s. Also, the old lights dimmed when the cart stopped and got brighter as the cart accelerated. The LED’s brightness remains constant regardless of whether or not the engine is running. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

Absolutely. I had the same experience with the headlight stalk switch getting hot with the factory halogens. When VGC converted mine to LED, the heating issue went away.
