DRIVE UP LED Tail Light Kit for Club Car DS (1982-up) — Pair, 3-Wire 12V Replacement for OEM1017035

High-quality DRIVE UP LED tail light pair that directly replaces Club Car OEM 1017035 for 1982-and-newer Club Car DS golf carts, using a 3-wire connection for brake/turn signal capability on a 12V system.

This DRIVE UP LED Tail Light Kit gives older Club Car DS models a modern, bright taillight upgrade while keeping installation straightforward. Designed to fit 1982-up Club Car DS chassis and compatible with Yamaha G14/G16/G19/G22 models, the kit includes a left and right LED assembly sized to the original cut-out and wired with three conductors so you can enable brake or turn-signal functionality if the cart wiring supports it.

Will these lights fit my Club Car DS or Yamaha golf cart?

These LED tail lights are built to replace the OEM 1017035 assemblies and fit the 1982-and-newer Club Car DS line. They also fit certain Yamaha G-series carts but are not compatible with Precedent models. Measure your existing opening to confirm fit before ordering.

• Designed for Club Car DS 1982-up
• Compatible with Yamaha G14, G16, G19, G22
• Assembly dims: 6" x 4"; cut-out needed about 5" x 3"
• Not compatible with Club Car Precedent models

How do I wire and power these 3-wire LED taillights?

The kit uses a 3-wire plug so you can connect a running light circuit plus a separate signal for brakes and/or turn indicators if your cart wiring supports them. The assemblies are built for a 12V electrical system—if your cart’s battery pack is 36V or 48V you must add a step-down (buck) converter to safely power the lights.

• Three wires: running, brake/turn, ground
• Requires 12V supply; buck converter needed for 36V/48V carts
• Plug-and-play installation on compatible harnesses
• No converter included in the package

What does the kit include and how difficult is installation?

The package contains one left and one right DRIVE UP LED taillight assembly and is intended to be an easy replacement for the factory units. Basic hand tools and a few minutes are typically all that’s required if your existing mounting points and wiring match the original specifications.

• Includes: right taillight and left taillight
• Assembly size matches original footprint for easy swap
• Simple wiring: match the 3-wire plug or splice to existing harness
• Recommended: confirm cut-out size and voltage beforehand

What practical benefits do these LED taillights provide?

Upgrading to LED improves nighttime visibility, reduces current draw compared with older incandescent bulbs, and offers longer service life. The three-wire option adds flexibility: if you add brake or turn-signal wiring, the lights will respond to those inputs for safer on-course operation.

• Brighter illumination for better rear visibility
• Lower power consumption on 12V systems
• Longer lifespan than traditional bulbs
• Brake/turn capability through the third wire

Who is this for: The DRIVE UP LED Tail Light Kit is for Club Car DS owners (1982 and newer) and compatible Yamaha G-series users who want a direct-fit LED replacement for OEM 1017035 that supports brake and turn-signal wiring. It’s ideal for DIYers who can confirm a 12V electrical supply or are willing to install a buck converter on higher-voltage carts, and for anyone seeking improved rear lighting performance with an easy installation.
