Adding brake lights to an E-Z-Go
This project assumes you allready have twin circuit factory style tail lights installed. I simply added a switched 12v hot wire to the 3rd connection on the existing tail lights, and BINGO, stop lamps. This is for an E-Z-Go Medalist or TXT.
This is a brake light switch from a 1950 Chevrolet pickup truck. NAPA $28. I have since found them on the web for $6 (oh well): The mounting bracket was fabbed from a piece of sturdy angle iron which was bent slightly for a better working angle. I drilled 1 hole in the brake support assembly to mount the bracket. The arm of the switch simply rides up and down on the brake pedal itself. 12v hot lead comes into one side of the switch and leaves on the other side and heads back to the lights, I needed a way to support the plastic conduit safely so I put on the old thinking cap and came up with this idea: I added a cutoff switch in the tee holder to kill the circuit when the hill brake is engaged. This could also be done with relays via the keyswitch or gear selector but I didn't want to spend that much engineering on it. The Chevy switch is weatherproof and nice and small. I want to thank Andy4639 for his brilliant idea and engineering.[ |

Re: Adding brake lights to an E-Z-Go
G-man, where did you find the switch for $6? I just found out the town where our campground is just past an ordinance to allow carts onroad. But I gotta add the brake lights.
