Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
No I have the POS light bar that mounts under the front cowl. That's why I made this thread because my current lighting is terrible and wanted another alternative. I think LED's are the way to go.

Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
Can you take it apart and get to the bulbs?? Should be a standard bulb (h3 maybe) that you can get from any auto parts store. They make a ton of different replacements!

Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
Our old white EZGO at the terminal had that light bar. I was always impressed with the amount of darkness it would suck up. It ate bulbs like it was starved plumb to death, though. I also could never understand why the housing was not designed better, as everywhere in the vicinity of the bulbs, it was melted. I didn't find out that was a 12v light for several months. It had been hooked up directly to the keyswitch and was feeding on 36v directly. Lord only knows how long it had been that way. I rewired the bulbs on the left and right in series, respectively and then paralelled the two. The light output was reduced significantly, but at least it stopped eating bulbs...

Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
What did you pay for the light kit? I thought about doing that but I have the cut in rear lights already and since I've seen only the complete kits being sold I would be paying for a whole kit when I only need the front assemblies. If somebody had a source to get just the front part of the kit I would go that route for the right price and change the bulbs to something ultra-bright. Plus I like the look of the cut ins as well.

Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
Those bulbs are about 30 watts or so, and you can replace them with bulbs about 50 watts, plug -n-play. I know my numbers aren't right (it's been many years since I did this) but you get the idea. It makes the POS lightbar much better, but I still prefer automotive driving lights.

Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
Anybody tried cutting in the lights from the new RVX? I saw one at the beach and it was really sharp. Don't know about the brightness, it was day light.

Re: Brighter lights on a TXT
my wife got me the kit. i think it was 80 dollars. it has a real nice harness and i probably could have put it in quicker than i did. i like neat wiring and i have to remove the old junk. it uses h3 bulbs. you can get an HID kit for it $35. or go to advance and get the blue h3 bulbs. i think they are 55 watts. i dont know how the harness would like the 55's though. maybe someone knows.
