HID conversion
Has anybody installed any of the HID converson bulbs in the plastic ezgo headlamp housings? I was wondering about the heat melting the housing and also about the brightness compared to the halogen bulbs

Re: HID conversion
Go LED. Why do you need HID?

Re: HID conversion
Is there an LED upgrade available for factory style lights? I found the HID kits on ebay for about 40.00 and it seems like a good upgrade for the price if they wont melt my headlight housings.

What I do know is that they will be much brighter than LED but also require significantly more amps! |

Re: HID conversion
LED is a better energy factor. There are many ways to go what ever you want if you google it. Send me a Message and I can tell you what I did. But for real there a ton of ways to go. Without going HID.

Re: HID conversion
I put the 55W HID bulbs in my standard light housings, works fine, super bright and has not melted anything in over a year. The will kill a fully charged 12v marine battery in no time flat though.
Go another route unless you are running off a voltage reducer. |

Re: HID conversion
I always thought the HID bulbs used less power than the halogens

Re: HID conversion
I haven't installed mine in the cart yet, but I had one mocked up on my work bench. I had it on for 15 min with no problem. 55 watts and boy are they bright!!!

Re: HID conversion
Do they draw more power than the halogens?
