Both lights would be of equal brightness, low or dim intensity. PS, that heat sink gets hot and is bolted to the frame to dissipate heat? |

re: Club Car DS, original OEM headlight issue
Heat sink? I thought that is what you were calling the factory reducer. Isolated from the frame.

re: Club Car DS, original OEM headlight issue
Until you get a 12v source from your pack positive and negative {or B- on your controller). You will have problems in the long run.
As far as what is causing the present problem, it sounds as though there are things wired incorrectly, or problems with the components. Hope this helps. |

re: Club Car DS, original OEM headlight issue
I agree, but I'm not sure why it has the extra heat sink in the factory wiring harness.
In the morning, I will take a reading at each of the leads to that heat sink, and also see what happens when I disconnect Both, leads from that heat sink. Just had a thought that the cart may have had the small heat sink just for the lights and when I put the new batteries in, I may have installed the head light power line to the voltage reducer. |

re: Club Car DS, original OEM headlight issue
Post some pictures of this "heatsink" and the connection at the batteries of your factory reducer. Along with any other termination points. Something seems a little off so in this case "A picture is worth a 1000 words!"

If so... it's an isolated ground terminal block! (and no... it shouldn't get hot!) Click pics to enlarge: 99DS48vheadlightsimg108.jpg 99DS48vheadlightsimg108 - Copy.jpg Quote:
but, there was a little bit of modifying (filing the socket tangs) to get them to fit in the housing. |
