The 4th of July is the perfect excuse to turn your golf cart into a rolling celebration of red, white, and blue. Whether you're cruising around the neighborhood, joining a parade, or just hanging out with friends and family, giving your cart a festive upgrade adds to the fun. From glowing lights and custom sound systems to upgraded seating and patriotic accessories, there are tons of ways to show your spirit and make your cart stand out this Independence Day.

Below are some of the most popular and effective ways people are decking out their carts for the holiday — including a few upgrades you can easily install yourself before the fireworks start.

1. Lights That Pop

Underbody LED Glow Lights
Installing underglow lights is one of the fastest ways to add a festive and eye-catching touch to your golf cart. These flexible LED strips mount underneath the frame and cast a colorful glow onto the pavement. Many kits allow you to control the colors, brightness, and strobe patterns via remote or smartphone app. Choose red, white, and blue for the holiday—or cycle through a rainbow for year-round fun.

• Golf Cart LEDGlow Million Color Underbody Light Kit – (LEDUnderglow.com) – One of the most vibrant, customizable options with multiple patterns, brightness levels, and remote/app control.

• LEDGlow Bluetooth Million Color Light Kit with Smartphone Control – (LEDUnderglow.com) – Control colors, modes, and speed from your phone with a sleek interface.

• Golf Cart Wheel Well Lighting Add-On Kit – (LEDUnderglow.com) – Perfect for expanding your existing lighting system into the fenders.

Front and Rear LED Light Kits
Upgrade your cart’s lighting system for both style and safety. These kits include headlights, brake lights, and turn signals—ideal for nighttime rides and making your cart street-legal in many areas.

• ProFX LED Light Kit for EZGO TXT/T48 – (Buggies Unlimited) – Plug-and-play wiring, durable design.

• Instamatic/FlexVolt Kits – (GolfCartStuff) – Works with 12–48V carts without needing a voltage reducer.

2. Custom Seats That Steal the Show

3. Sound Bars That Bring the Boom

Great music makes a good ride even better. Whether you're blasting classic rock, country hits, or patriotic anthems, a Bluetooth sound bar ensures your tunes are loud, clear, and easy to control. Look for bars with waterproof housing, built-in lights, and marine-grade durability for outdoor use.

4. Portable Bluetooth Speakers (Simple & Flexible)

If you're not quite ready to install a full sound system, a portable speaker is a great option. Many clip right to your dash or fit in a cupholder. Look for models with long battery life and waterproof ratings.

• Bluetooth Portable Tube Speaker – (ExtremeKartz) – Great sound in a compact, easy-to-move design.

• JBL Flip 5 or similar – Available at most major retailers for around $90. Compact, durable, and highly rated for sound clarity.

Final Touches & Takeaways

To take things even further, consider these final touches:

• Patriotic decals or wraps – Add stars, stripes, or even fireworks graphics.

• Cooler racks and cupholders – Keep cold drinks close by.

• Roof canopies and seat covers – Stay cool and protected all day.
