Club Car DS Headlights Infographic
 
1 Attachment(s)
I created an info graphic showing the differences between the cowls on older (1981-1992) and newer (1993-up) Club Car DS carts. Might help someone with an older cart who is wondering why most light/turn signal kits for sale only list for 1993-up.

For those that are afraid to be cutting on a new set of headlights, you can also use a heat gun and bend the top of the bezel trim down to match the old body style. It looks a bit "off" with the large trim above the light, but I've done it several times for folks that have refused to let me cut the trim.

I haven't cut them on the body, they are too easy to take out.
I have marked the lines I need to cut, then removed the lights.
Yes, a dremel will get away from you pretty quick.

Yes it will. I finally got comfortable enough a few years ago to take the guide off and leave it off.

With a little experience and the right bit for your dremel and a good template the job of cutting the body becomes fairly easy....messy...but easy. Some people make an aluminum template that really works well. Remember the bezel will cover some mistakes.

Thanks for posting this!!! Huge help in my replacement headlamp search. I acquired a Club Car DS a while back and cannot for the life of me figure out what year it is....

Does anyone have an electrical schematic for a 1997 Club Car 48V that shows the headlight circuit?

If you are not comfortable with a dremel, just drill the corners and use a jig saw. Less chance of "drifting off course".
