EZGO TXT golf carts are some of the most popular golf carts out on the road today.
Due to their popularity, many EZGO TXT owners are looking for ways to upgrade their ride and make cruising around a bit more enjoyable.
When it comes to adding golf cart accessories, light kits often top the list. They give you the ability to drive your cart at night and make your TXT much safer.
In this article, we are going to walk through how to install a basic EZGO TXT headlight and taillight kit. Let's go!
A basic EZGO TXT light kit should come with all the necessary components to power running headlights and taillights (I know ours do!) Here is a parts breakdown:
Tools Needed
Before you begin... It is recommended that before you begin the installation, you remove the positive and negative connections from your golf cart's battery packs (for electric carts).
In addition, always look behind each drill and cut location before you drill or cut into the body to ensure you don't cut through any important cart components.
Lastly, as you install run the wiring harness along the frame of the golf cart, it is recommended that you loosely secure the wiring harness with wire tires throughout the process.
Do not completely tighten the wire tires until you have run and attached all the wiring.

Step 1: Remove all light kit contents from the shipping package and ensure you have received all the components listed in your golf cart light kit's product description.
Step 2: It is recommended that prior to installing your lights, you remove the front body cowl.
This is not necessary but may make placing and cutting out the headlights and taillights a little easier.
If you do plan to remove your EZGO TXT's body, check your EZGO manual for the removal procedure.
Step 3: Cut out the headlight template. Begin by placing the template on the driver-side front cowl facing up and out.
Carefully position the template and tape it into place. Mark the cutout area and remove the template. See below for an example.
Step 9: Cut out the taillight template. Place along the driver side with the following measurements: The template should be:
Step 12: Select the headlight connectors from the wiring harness and orientate them for the left and right-hand headlights.
The longer of the two headlight cables is for the passenger side. From underneath the body cowl, connect them to the headlights.
Step 13: Route the wiring harness down the outer side of the left (driver’s side) frame through the frame opening towards the brake pedal.
Step 14: Locate the push/pull switch on the light kit wiring harness.
Step 15: On the removable ignition switch panel, center punch the plate 1-1/4” from the right edge and centered horizontally.
Carefully drill a 3/8” hole for the new switch, being sure not to drill into any wires or other components.
Remove the panel by removing the two rivets at the bottom. Mark and disconnect wires from the ignition switch.
Using a file, remove any sharp edges and set panel aside.
Step 19: Run the taillight wire looms toward the rear of the cart following along the frame.
Connect the short loom taillight wiring to the driver’s side tail light.
The long loom follows the rear frame cross tube and connects to the passenger side. Connect the wiring harness into the taillights.
