Default LED questions

I just got my EZGO RXV 48v and have been making some changes to it.

First thing is I replaced the halogen headlights and tail lights with LED equivalent bulbs. They're alright, but now the rear blinkers don't work and the front blinkers are weak. Any advice?

Secondly, I got four LED lights (2 for the front and 2 in the rear) to mount. I have no idea what to do. They're supposed to be for a vehicle. Is there anything special I need to do since it's a cart?

TIA!

Need an LED flasher not the halogen one for blinkers.

You need to replace the flasher relay with an led one

12V DC 0.02-20A Electronic LED Flasher Relay 3 Pin for Turn Signal Light

Thanks, guys. I've ordered the part. Now, is there anything special I need to do for the extra lights I'm going to mount?

Also, after taking a ride at night, I noticed the lights dimmed when I punched the accelerator. Is this typical behavior?

Could be a high resistance connection, bad battery or voltage reducer if you use one. I've read where you should stay out of an RXV wiring harness.

So I got the relay, but I'm still having the problem of no blinking in the rear. The lights work including the break lights, but not flashing.

Wilco,you mentioned you had four additional leds to hook up. What did you want those leds to do? Blink with turn signals, just light up when you throw a switch or just be on when the head lights are on?

I want them to light up with the switch. I have the wiring harness already. Just clueless on where to connect them on the converter. Thanks!
