The flash may have been a fuse blowing. IMHO, I would check for a blown fuse. If you find one, then you will need to find the short circuit. Now i have not worked on a Par Car golf cart, if this is an electric cart, you will need to check the DC/DC power converter it may have failed. Do NOT replace the failed fuse with a larger fuse. Check all of the components on this circuit for a short, you should be able to unplug the headlights and taillights, install the fuse, turn on the switch, and plug in the lights one at a time.
Hope this helps. Send me a PM if you would like help or like to discuss further.

Since the head lights and tail lights share the same switch these should be on the same fuse. If the fuses are not labeled, take them out ONE AT A TIME, look at the center area of the fuse and you should see a U shaped piece of wire. If you have a digital meter, set it on low ohms to check the fuse if you cannot see the U shaped wire. If you find a blown fuse, look at the end and you will see a number this is the rating of the fuse, make sure the new fuse has the same rating. The auto parts stores sell packs of fuses with several ratings, and some have a very convenient fuse puller. I have both if you need a hand.

To add to what VT mentioned , you should be able to check for a blown fuse without the need to pull it .
See image . On top of the fuse, you will see two metal “tabs” (not the right term , but….). I have drawn a circle to point them out . If (BIG IF) you have a multi meter AND know how to use it , set it to read ohms 2000 Touch the probes one each to the metal tabs at the same time . IF the fuse is NOT blown , the reading on the meter should be 0.00 IF you get any reading other than 000, the fuse is blown ….. |
