Led bar

skipsmith521 · 05-31-2016, 02:05 PM

I have purchased 3 or 4 different H3 leds to replace stock.

The issues are

1) some leds are too wide to go through the hole in back of light housing
2) the ones that did fit, the individual leds were pointing up and down. The focus on the reflective mirror is side to side.
3) on set, would fit and the LEDs were aimed correctly, but there were not enough to be bright enough.

I ended up using the best set of all that I purchased, but I added the BAR to give me more light.

Looks good

I am pleased with how it mounted to the cart. It took me a while to figure out where I was going to put it. It is rock solid mounted to the cart.

Did you turn it on and hold it up at different locations? Specifically, right next to the roof? I'm wondering if the hieght would throw the light better.

Bummer about the LEDs in the stock holders. I would have liked to do it.

I considered roof mount on top and also right under the roof...behind the windshield.

I have a rain cover that goes on the cart during cold and raining season and roof mount on top would be a problem. I would have to cut into my rain cover and did not want to do that. I also did not want to put holes in my roof if I did not have to...

Under the roof became the next place, but I thought behind the windshield I could get some glare.

After that, I started thinking under the front nose of the cart. I have seen a lot of carts with those single lights mounted there, but never like the look of those lights. The Led bar to me looks better.

How mine is mounted, I can adjust the bar up and down and to be honest...there is so much light coming from it...it lights up everything.
