DRIVE UP Club Car DS LED Headlights Kit 1993-up — Pair 12V Low-Draw Long-Life Replacements

DRIVE UP Club Car DS Headlights Kit is a pair of energy-efficient 12V LED headlamps designed to replace OEM 101988002 and 101988001 on Club Car DS models from 1993 onward.

These LED headlight assemblies are built as direct replacements for the left and right modified headlamps on Club Car DS golf carts (1993-up). They lower power draw compared with incandescent bulbs, provide longer service life, and are sized to fit the DS headlight openings — with included cutting templates and instructions for carts that need slight adjustments. Note: harness and voltage reducer are not included; 12V operation only.

Will these headlights fit my Club Car DS golf cart?

They are made to match the Club Car DS headlamp openings used on models from 1993 to the present, but fit depends on the exact opening size and any prior modifications. Check your headlight opening dimensions before ordering; if the opening differs, the included cutting template helps achieve a proper fit.

• Compatible with Club Car DS 1993-up gas and electric models
• Includes one left (OEM 101988002) and one right (OEM 101988001) LED headlight
• Cutting template and installation guide included for opening adjustments
• Does not include the vehicle harness—confirm wiring compatibility

How do these LED headlamps impact battery life and energy use?

LEDs use significantly less current than traditional incandescent bulbs, so they reduce the electrical load on a 12V golf cart battery. That lower draw can help you run longer between charges and potentially lengthen overall battery life because the battery experiences fewer deep discharge cycles.

• Operates on 12V systems to minimize energy consumption
• Lower amperage draw compared to standard bulbs
• Longer rated lifespan than incandescent headlamps
• Requires a 36V-to-12V or 48V-to-12V reducer for non-12V carts (not included)

Is installation difficult, and what materials are included?

Installation is straightforward for users with basic mechanical skills. The package supplies both left and right LED headlamp units, plus cutting templates and step-by-step instructions to adapt the headlight opening if necessary.

• Two LED headlamp units: left and right (OEM numbers included)
• Installation instructions and cutting templates included
• May require simple tools for trimming or mounting adjustments
• Does not include wiring harness or voltage reducer hardware

What electrical considerations should I know before buying?

These headlights are rated for 12V systems only. If your Club Car DS uses 36V or 48V, you must add a step-down voltage reducer to prevent overvoltage and premature failure. Also verify your cart's harness connector type to ensure a clean electrical connection.

• Designed for 12V operation; do not connect directly to 36V/48V
• Use a 36V-12V or 48V-12V reducer when required (sold separately)
• Double-check connector compatibility with your existing harness
• Proper voltage prevents burnout and ensures expected lifespan

Who this kit is for: This DRIVE UP LED headlight set suits Club Car DS owners who want brighter, longer-lasting lighting while reducing electrical load on their 12V system. It’s ideal for DIYers comfortable with basic installation steps, carts whose headlight openings match (or can be adjusted using the included template), and users aiming to modernize stock lighting without changing housings or performing major electrical alterations. Verify voltage and harness compatibility before purchase.
