## Description

### Better Golfcarts is a utility mod which seeks to improve and tune various aspects of golf carts.[#](#md-better-golfcarts-is-a-utility-mod-which-seeks-to-improve-and-tun)

The mod currently changes the headlights of the golfcarts. Features include:

- Improved look of the headlights and removed the jagged edge to increase realism
- Added high beams, default hotkey H
- Added corner lighting, the lighting angle moves with your steering to light up corners better.
- Headlights can be configured to always be on.

   Configuration can be done through the option menu. Headlights always on does not take effect until reboot.

##### Corner lighting[#](#md-corner-lighting)

Corner lighting is a feature commonly found on modern cars. The headlights move in the steering direction. This mod does the same thing.

 The strength of the corner lighting can be adjusted in the settings. 1 means it directly mirrors your steering, where as 0 disables it entirely.

##### Info[#](#md-info)

Multiplayer currently isn't supported (yet). It works on servers, but other players will see the default lighting.

## Changelog 1.1.2 (2026-01-17)

Restored the 'keep golfcart lights on' functionality that somehow got lost in patch 1.1
