Dim Headlights
One of our folks has an EZ-GO with halogen headlights in a light bar that suddenly went dim. Brake lights are fine. Doesn't make sense to me that both bulbs would dim if only one is bad. Anything I ought to check before I start replacing bulbs?

Re: Dim Headlights
Start by checking the circuit voltage.

Re: Dim Headlights
check the connections up to that point, look for a corroded/bad one, prehaps on the battery.
i also agree with gorno check the voltage. |

Re: Dim Headlights
8 out of 10 times a dim bulb is a result of a bad ground. That can be anywhere in the ground leg, from the socket to the battery. Check the socket for corrosion, ground wire connections and if it is grounded to the chassis, make sure there is no rust there.

Never, I repeat NEVER ground to the chassis on a golf cart. ALWAYS ground to the negative side of the battery or a ground block connected to the negative side of the battery. |
