DDM Tuning 880 LED Bulbs - Club Car DS
Hello,
Has anyone upgraded their Club Car DS bulbs to these or something similar? By most accounts this is a great company, I'm curious what I can expect.... looks like plug and play? Thanks |

Re: DDM Tuning 880 LED Bulbs - Club Car DS
Might be alright but I would try a 35 watt HID kit first. LED components generate a lot of heat.

Re: DDM Tuning 880 LED Bulbs - Club Car DS
They actually suggest the opposite when I called DDM, but regardless, if they're a reputable company and they're saying 2250 lumens per bulb with no extra wiring , seems like a good solution for $54, right? If the heat isn't prohibitive, what's the downside (if they work well).
Thanks |

Re: DDM Tuning 880 LED Bulbs - Club Car DS
Well truth be told, I got the LED's on my Precedent off of Amazon and I love them.
Bright as can be and inexpensive to boot... $29 for two bulbs. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Re: DDM Tuning 880 LED Bulbs - Club Car DS
I highly recommend www.theretrofitsource.com
They have tech people available to help you through everything. I use to retrofit HID projectors in halogen headlights when I was younger. I've done quite a few and have quite a bit of experience in this area. The thing with LED bulbs is…if they aren't that hot, why do they require their own fan in the circuit? And for those with fans, how long will the fan last? How hot will the circuit get after the fan fails? I have a degree in EE (electronics engineering) also by the way. Edit: I'm not saying don't do it. I'm telling you to choose wisely and be sure to do research on the particular product you want. Starting this thread was a good start. |

Re: DDM Tuning 880 LED Bulbs - Club Car DS
I'll elaborate a little more on my concern with LED headlights.
The LED (light emitting diode) itself does not generate much heat at. However, the electrical components that make up the cuircut do. Transistors. Being that this circuit is located on the back side of the bulb, a concern as to what's nearby arises. Such as the plastic headlight housing, wires and so on. When it comes to halogen and HID bulbs, the heat is within the bulb itself inside the headlight. No other components at at risk for heat unless you're using a 55 watt HID kit which would be silly. |

HID has always been brighter than LED. Just an overall better light output/performance. However, we are talking golf carts so you might have a valid point. Not sure on your use for you golf cart but the light from LEDs should be all that you need. |
