Looking for LED Turn signals
 
I want to install the white/yellow turn signal led strips on my cart. Where can I buy them so I can do it myself?

Market of Marion
 
There is a booth at Market of Marion that has a wide variety of low voltage LED strips.

I have bought 2 sets from this guy on eBay. Delivery in like 2 days (he's from FL). I put red/amber on rear and white/amber on front.

It includes the required switch box.

I have one of those "Atomic Electric" cars so I didn't need a step-down transformer but from what I understand a reg cart requires a means to get voltage down to 12V. They come in multiple color combos and sizes. Great seller - VERY helpful.

Edit: They use REAL 3M tape to stick not that paper foam crap some of the real cheap places use. You can see my install here: Dropbox - cart (1) For some rason it is showing in "slow motion" but it is "normal" on the cart.

SuperBrightLeds.com has lots of LED products also. One word of caution, make sure you clean the area where you are going to apply the LED strip LEDs. Also, if this is a compound curve, you may have problems if the LED strips are not really flexible. These are polarity sensitive, and as mentioned above, if you have an electric cart, make sure you are connected to the 12 VDC source. PS, if you choose to roll your own installation, you will need a couple of 12 vdc automotive relays to get the white to yellow to white transistion.
Hope this helps.

SUPERBRIGHT is a great company but they don't sell the "switchbacks" that have the 2 colors on one strip. The "switchbacks" that I got come with a small box attached to the strip with 3 wires that takes care of flipping the 2 colors on 1 strip. It has 3 wires (12v, color 1 and color 2). When turn signal goes on it "flips" amber/white/amber/white and when not turning it is just a white running light. On the back it "flips" red & amber.

Superbight sells RGB strips but you can't do the "flipper" with them since the rgb's don't have dedicated colors on 1 strip.

I use alcohol then 3M adhesive promoter before attaching the strips which are attached to a textured plastic surface and NOTHING can pull it off and if it did, all the adhesive would be left behind as I discovered when I wanted to re-position them.

I also have 4 strips of "Superbright LED's" RGB strips (2 on top 2 under) on my car(t) which I can control with my phone either by wi-fi or with an rf remote.

My wife thinks I'm nuts .... maybe she's right. :D

Agree, I had or use 3m double sided tape for vent defectors. They REALLY stick to both surfaces.

They are all made in China but the 3 companies I have dealt with are located in the USA. I don’t think the Marion market guy sells the switchbacks. When I looked a couple months ago he said he didn’t.
