Where did you attach your light strips? Stick them to the frame or did you drill holes and use zip ties? I have a DS and am trying to figure out the best way to attach my underglow. The underneath of these carts get dirty and don't seem like they would work well if you stick them to it?... thanks
I used sticky-back zip ties mounts. I cleaned each spot with alcohol and I think I applied a bit of gorilla glue or super glue or something like that. The mounts have made it without failure for the most part. I do have a section behind the right rear where one mount has failed - probably because of the wheel splash… so some self tappers through the ty-wrap mounts may be the way to go.
FireLord1224 4 thank you very much! you would need to verify the voltage of your carts system - I think some carts run 48 volts - you would need to find a kit that is compatible with your voltage
FireLord1224 4 you will need to put a voltage regulator on first to step down the voltage from 48v to 12v, and then you can install your lights. You will fry your lights if you connect them directly to 48v.

The stereo is a separate unit not attached to the cart. The LEDS are hard wired, they draw a very very low current. I leave my cart on a trickle charger just to be safe
@@jacobyoung3160 By a separate unit you mean another battery I'm guessing? Sorry I just inherited a stock 09' DS club car and dont know anything lol. If you use a separate unit would you happen to have a picture of what that looks like under the hood?
@@jacobyoung3160 Oh lol that's what I'm doing now too. I always rented golf carts at the coast and have never had a problem with the battery draining while listening to the carts stereo all day but I never looked to see if they had extra batteries or the regular one was enough to pull this off. I guess I'll give it a try on the original battery and see what happens lol.
I like the paint. What (brand, etc) is it? Rattle can or spray gun? I am getting ready to do mine orange, but not sure what paint I want to use yet.
Thanks! I actually bought the cart like that, the guy I bought it from said it was a whole new body kit.

@@jacobyoung3160 hey man, thanks for the quick response from a video posted 2 years ago. I appreciate it. I'll definitely try your technique 👍🏻
Amazing build man love the led lights would they work on a electrical golf cart?

Jacob Young I have the same cart you do but it’s. a 48 volt so they would work on it correct ?

Do you have product links. Looks great.
timothy muhlmichl thank you! - I’ve added the links to the video description of the build video
Did it fit going in and out of the garage ok
Literally like an inch to spare haha
Do you ever feel that you need an extra battery for lights and a stereo?
The stereo is a separate unit not attached to the cart. The LEDS are hard wired, they draw a very very low current. I leave my cart on a trickle charger just to be safe

By separate unit, I meant the stereo is a JBL Bluetooth speaker that fits in my cup holder lol

Ive got 2002 club car. Where did you mount the led strips?
Also, what size wheel spacer did you use?
LED’s are mounted to the frame rail and anywhere else I could attach. 1” wheel spacer on each side (2” overall)
@@jacobyoung3160 Did you spacers in the front and back? I ordered some but it loos like they are just sold in pairs.
