club car lights/turn signal help

[nwocart]

recently bought my 99 club car ds that had lights and turn signals installed. it was street legal at the time. the headlights, tail lights, and brake lights currently work fine.

drivers side headlght lens is broken. these are old style headlights that are enclosed where you cant replace a bulb and you have to replace the entire light. my question is if anybody knows where i can buy the whole light? I have already received the answer that i should re wire the entire cart with a brand new light kit but if i can fix what i have i would rather do that before I buy all new and install it. attached is a picture of the 3 wire plug these lights have... im assuming 1 for lights 1 for ground and 1 for blinker but i am not sure. if i do have to buy lights can anyone confirm that i dont need a new cowl to do so? i dont want to buy a new cowl to fit lights when mine work fine, just needing a lense. hopefully my pictures show where it mounts.

none of the turn signals work and they didnt when i bought it. the previous owner suggested something in the dash was the case. he called it an actuator or something, and said it was probably the case since he sees a lot of these carts and thats his usual go to when he gets one with no power to any blinker.

You can replace the bulb. But it won't do you any good. The whole thing is trash.

You are better off buying the whole front set. I don't know if you can buy just one side but even if you can it is probably just as cheap to buy both.

The passenger side looks messed up too.

It did not appear that you can replace the bulb, reminds me of all the older trucks I've worked on where you have to replace the entire glass lense / metal back, and it just has the bulb inside of it. The glass is broke and you can't just buy new glass, I have to buy the whole "light" as its called.

I am willing to do what it takes to get these working. However I don't need turn signals, and I'm hoping to not spend another 60-100 on a light kit when I have fully functional headlights and tail lights that just need a lens.

I understand the kit i have isn't the best. I understand its probably 15 years old. I really don't want to spend $120 and have to re wire it. I guess I'll just drive it without a lens in the headlight. My main concern is how these other lights fit. Is there any chance these other light kits fit the same?



Its not that I am against replacing everything, I just hate to replace things that work with the exception of 1 stupid little lens

Those pictures look a lot like the headlights on my 2000 DS. I was researching this too as one headlight is out. It looks like bulb LGT-327 would be the replacement bulb. You just have to take out the little screw on the back of the metal back of the housing. I haven't purchased this as I still need to look at mine to make sure I get the right thing.

Maybe I didn't look close enough. Of course now I am at work and can't check, but after looking at what you said I will look again tonight.

Are your headlight lens' glass? Want to sell them

Also I will add at this point, if anybody knows a certain kit, or brand, of headlights that will fit in my current front cowl / rear end I am open to buying new. I thought I could just get another kit off of ebay and put them in the current holes - however i just read HERE that supposedly that kit wont work if you already have holes in your cart. which is unfortunate because now I am afraid to order a light kit if it wont even fit my cart.

bummer

edit: if anybody has a late 90's DS that has installed one of these ebay aftermarket kits, and wants to measure their holes or send me a copy of their template I will pay for postage to see if my lights will fit. thanks

What you have are aftermarket headlights, those are NOT factory headlights!
it's obvious from surface mounting screws, the Dremel rough cut hole, and the turn signal lens.

Factory headlights mount with clips on the back, without front surface screws, and the turn signal lens is flush.
Factory headlight cutouts have a larger cutout than what you have on your cart.

I'd say buy jim,s a cup of coffee or 2, and grab a couple from him!

That’s the plan, waiting to hear back from him in the for sale forum. I did confirm from the one ebay seller that I messaged that the kit I was looking at would fit into my current holes with just a little more trimming If I wanted to start over. But honestly didn’t want to mess with it and re wiring since I don’t need turn signals. So hopefully Jim has something to set me up then all I gotta do is figure out why the turn signals don’t work. Wasn’t going to mess with it if going all new but might as well if I’m leaving them on. Don’t need them but why not haha

Looks like the old generic halogens that were in snowmobiles, atv's, lawn tractors, etc.
I would try an ag, equipment or larger lawn and outdoor power equipment dealer.
