Default lights for night riding....

Sounds like you are "on a roll". 12V Master Electricians Look Out!!! You've now got some competition in town!!! Good luck with your other buggie. Only thing to monitor is the light bulb size. Too big of Watts/Amps drain from your new front lights and it could leave your battery drained / dead. Over time, I'm sure you'll find its most optiminal bulb size for the "average" rpms of your buggy's engine.

Being a buggy and thinking of more night driving safety, you may want to install of a reverse light as well. If your buggy has reverse gear, a manual toggle switch reverse light works great for loading / unloading off a trailer & doing 3 point turns in the dark. If you do "hard wire" in a reverse light, you may want to use a lighted switch. This type of switch allows the driver to easily see if they "accidentally left their R light on". For a picture of our lighted switch, surf: - Press Here -


Hope this helps as well...

yeah, i would put a light on for reverse.... but, my buggy does not have reverse. i found out today why that is such a pain. lol


My wife's buggy, on the other hand, has reverse.... so, i'll probably put something on there.


i did wire in a blue led indicator on the toggle switch... just b/c of the cool factor and to let me know if they are on during the day, of course. lol

oh, and spread the word.... this ole boy is gonna be a sought after electrician..... lol



later,
R6
