Headlights acting up? You’re not alone.
Troubleshooting golf cart headlights can be simple once you know what to look for. Whether they’re dim, flickering, or completely out—we’ve got you covered.
Common Golf Cart Headlight or Tail Light Problems
1. Headlights Won’t Turn On
The most common issue. Start here.
What to check:
- Dead battery or low voltage
- Blown headlight fuse
- Loose or corroded wire connections
- Bad headlight switch
Try turning on other lights or accessories. If nothing works, it might be a battery issue.
2. Dim Headlights
Your lights turn on, but they’re weak.
Possible causes:
- Battery charge is too low
- Faulty ground wire
- Old or dirty light bulbs
- Worn wiring
Charge the battery first. Still dim? Move on to the wiring and bulbs.
3. Flickering Lights
Headlights flicker when driving? That’s not normal.
Things to check:
- Loose wire connections
- Dirty terminals
- Failing voltage reducer
- Faulty switch
Wiggle the wires while the lights are on. If they flicker, you’ve found a loose connection.
4. Only One Headlight or Tail Light Works
This one’s easy to miss—until night falls.
Troubleshooting tip:
- Swap the bulbs from side to side. If the same one stays off, it’s the wiring.
- If the other light goes out, you’ve got a bad bulb.
