Thumbs down Electric EZGO lights are dim.

I have a 2003 EZGO that has the cut out lights. Today I just replaced the bulbs in them because they were dim.
Now they are still dim, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks.

Welcome to BGW!

First, what is the voltage going to the lights?

Second, what are the numbers on the light bulbs?

I have a 36v cart, and I think the voltage going to the lights would be 12v, I'm not sure the what the number on the lights are, I just know they are 55 watts. They used to be really bright, and they got dim, so I replaced them and they're still dim.

Sounds like dirty connections in the lighting circuit. Might be time for cleaning all the battery and wiring connections.

Get a multimeter and measure the voltage going to the lights.

You bought new bulbs, what did it say on the package? Are they H3 Halogens?

Any electrical work done to the cart recently? New batteries? New cables?
