I’m still really happy with these Rigid LED lights. > [@Headlight Upgrade (2013 E6)](https://community.electricforum.com/t/headlight-upgrade-2013-e6/16882): > > I know I’m not alone in thinking the factory GEM headlights left a lot to be desired. Granted they weren’t meant for cruising at 40 MPH but even at low speeds the light on my iPhone performed better. We drive our GEM on public roads and it often gets dark by the time we’re heading home from dinner. I was looking for an LED upgrade to replace the factory lights but most of what I could find were intended for off road use, casting the light way too high for oncoming traffic.… ---

Are you running the LED’s off the normal battery harness? I have heard some adding anoither battery for stereo and lighting. ---

The LEDs are wired in using the factory light harness. I don’t have a separate battery system in my cart. If I’m not mistaken the LEDs draw less power than the factory bulbs. ---

You can defiantly use the factory harness/wiring. LED’s will use 1/3 the watts of your factory bulbs. ---
