Re: Convert 4x12V Battery System to a 6x8V System for '05 Precedent ???
I changed my 04 over to 8v last year. The only problem i ran into is the lights will not work.. Blew all bulbs. There is a post on the bgw today about a 48v to 12 reducer for about $4. I am going to try this. Call me at 270 871 9250 and i will tell you how i did the conversion.

A. Voltage Reducer 16-12V B. Voltage Reducer 48-12V I'm guessing you either used B, or NONE...... and you hooked the hot wire for the lights up to the main power cable as if the car were equipped with the 48-12 Reducer, and sent 48V straight to your bulbs... BOOM! The wire should have been hooked to battery number 5 |

Anyone making a pan to go with 8- 6 volt batts in the DS instead of the 6 8's?

Re: Convert 4x12V Battery System to a 6x8V System for '05 Precedent ???
you can sometimes get away with hooking them to 16 volts....they are just a bit brighter so get your voltage meter and get 2 batteries that give you 16 volts.........9 out of 10 times lights will work without issue.........double check that you don,t have a reducer on cart if your not sure it would be mounted on frame rail back behind batteries on drivers side..................also i have never heard of a 48 to 12 volt reducer for 4 dollars........if thats accurate stay away from it please..............a decent reducer is gonna run you roughly 80.00 dollars or so but its a good investment if your gonna add other stuff in future...........if not you can get by with running the lights on 16 volts.......................................

the $4 part mentioned is a relay, not a reducer.

I have a '06 that was converted by CC. Obviously it can be done ....mine looks 100% factory as you would expect since CC did it. There is no longer a "center console".
