94 DS, where do i get 24 volt light bulbs ?

mrmotoguzzi00 · 06-30-2016, 09:24 AM

Both headlight bulbs blew last week, pulled them out last night and they are 12 volts bulbs....

Went surfing last night on the web and couldn't' find any bulbs ?

are they 12 or 24 volt ?

mrmotoguzzi00 · 06-30-2016, 10:13 AM

Bulbs where installed just before i got the cart, they are stanley 12 volt as labeled.... the multimeter says i got 24 volts coming to them....

The cart went in for new batteries before i picked it up, they did a good job with the batteries and replaced the headlights bulbs and tailight bulbs.... all are 12 volt bulbs but again multimeter says there is 24 volts coming to them :(

Can't imagine the tail lights will last long, noticed the rear lens are melted where the bulb is... GGGRRRR.....

Got a led lightbar the other day was just gonna install that, but it needs 12 volts and there is no 12 volt feed.... unless i connect to 2 batteries which is not a ideal install.... between the lightbar and a converter cost... figured id just get new bulbs.. but can't find any ?

Did some digging on the led light bar i got at a local golf cart place.... box says 12 volt.... found the identical led here..

9~32VDC operating voltage range

The better question is "Why are the lights being feed 24 volts?".

It sounds like someone tapped into the wrong part of the battery pack.

Oh ? so that's not normal ? awesome lol

So what voltage should I see there ?

It is supposed to be 12 volts ? aka wired to two of the 6 volt batteries ?

Yes, you should have 12v. there. Although it's not ideal, it's often provided by tapping onto a pair of batteries, BUT using a 1/3 of the pack makes for uneven draw and shortened life of the whole pack. Best practice is to use a 36v. to 12v. reducer.

What he said - I was thinking the same thing as I read this thread. What is the voltage of each battery? Is there a way to get down to 12v? I've seen people with 8v batteries get away with pushing 2 (16v) to typical bulbs but even doing that will probably reduce their lifespan somewhat. You get some nice bright headlights though. LOL.

Agreed!

The proper way to do this is with a voltage reducer that will reduce it to 12vdc. (48V or 36v to 12v reducer, depending on your carts voltage).
