Default Do I need a 36v to 12v reducer

Hello, I just picked up our first golf cart. It is a 2002 TXT. It has lift and is street legal with front and rear lights/ brake lights which appear to be stock to me. I want to add a stereo/speakers. Would I need a 36v -12v reducer or is there one already installed running the lights?

Directly under the drivers seat I see a fuse group with one wire going in and 3 going out.

I appreciate any help.

I call this pic :Do I need a reducer?"

You should use a reducer if you use the 12v accessory more than rarely. The 12v draw will cause a battery imbalance which will cause problems in the recharge cycle resulting in shortened battery service.

That's awesome! Mix matched batteries and at least what.. 5 different accessories tapped directly to the batteries!?!

Op - Short answer is yes, invest in a reducer. ScottyB has a GREAT deal on one right now.
