How should I go bout adding Lights.

[Richard III]

I was thinking about adding maybe 2 headlights and maybe some running lights on the back of my gokart and I have room for a battery and I want to be able to plug the gokart in and let the battery charge. Dose any one know how this can be done I saw these lights below at northern tool. (12v DC)

Edit: ok so I have found a way to charge the battery, using a trickle charger so that I can top off the battery when I plug it in. Now all I need help with is finding a battery (cant seem to find and 12volt DC batterys dont know why) and I would like to find some running lights for the back and I would have to wire all of this in parrell wireing.

100 watt lights will suck down a battery in short order. Automobile headlights are only about 55 watts. Look up led lights on the net [superbrightled.com] comes to mind.

put an alternator on your kart, ive seen threads on here about it.

lights people use on bicycles work well

12 volt batteries are in everything, cars, boats, motorcycle, snowmobiles, mopeds, list goes on.
