Re: LED lights/head/tail lights/running lights DIY kit
It’s alive!!! Look what I created!!!!!!!
Haha, sorry, as you can tell I’m super happy with the outcome. After waaay more wiring (and trips to lowes/Home Depot) than expected, my “cheapy” lights are done. Ended up with a 2 switch system (1 48v 1 12v) and used a relay coming off the key (so actually 3 switches to get to lights). Thanks to everyone for all the help (esp fairtax4me, yawood and bobob). |

Re: LED lights/head/tail lights/running lights DIY kit
Awesome! Job well done sir!
I was starting to feel like we had taken you down the rabbit hole because it seemed like you initially wanted this to be a simple install. But the way you have it done now allows you to expand if you want to later, and makes sure everything is off so you have no draw when the cart is not in use. |

But now I've got plenty of extra switches, fuse holders etc for the next project. U can't see it very well but the fusebox is in the drivers side cubby. I plan to put in a panel/door (made out of plastic black cutting board) that basically friction fits inside the cubby and sits flush with the top of the fusebox. Then it will be "protected" from the elements and little fingers. For now though it's nice out, we will be driving it around as much as possible. |

Re: LED lights/head/tail lights/running lights DIY kit
Ok it appears you guys know way more about this than I so need a little follow up on this thread. My cart is 04 Precedent and I was using a cheap reducer that went from 48v pack negative, 48v positive with fuse to the reducer. Then from the positive and negative to radio. All I need is radio and the lights are running off a in dash OEM reducer that doesn't turn off with key.
The way I had the radio reducer sparked like hell when hooking up which I don't like! I'm upgrading to a new Alltrax 400a controller this weekend so want to prewire new converter. My first question is my radio turned off to the key switch with my setup above, how is that since I didn't have the reducer wired though the key switch much less have a relay? Second question concerning new wiring. Do I need to come off B- off the new Alltrax 400a controller for the 48v negative. Then off the 48v pack positive to a relay, then to key switch, then to converter. Is this correct? |

Re: LED lights/head/tail lights/running lights DIY kit
Great thread. Just what I was looking for. I just joined today as I am just starting to add to my brand new second hand Precedent.
Edit: reading further on other threads has me thinking - do I bin my 4 wire reducer (like the one being installed here) and get a better one now or should I continue the install following the instructions above? I'm looking at stereo, light bar, rear lights, horn, usb charge point and internal light. Thanks in advance. |

The 5-wire ones are easier to install and the 4-wire ones will need the additional expense of a relay or switch (or both). So, it's your choice really but either way I would get a 30A one rather than the 10 or 20 amp because you'll need it for what you want to run. |
