Lotus Service Notes
the headlamp assemblies. These lamps are designed for long life and are serviceable only by replacement of
the complete headlamp unit.

Rear Lamp Cluster Bulbs

The outboard lamp cluster contains the tail, brake and turn indicator functions, and is configured as fol-
lows:
Annulus; tail and brake lamps.
Centre; turn indicator lamp.
The tail and brake lamps are provided by a ring of light emitting diodes (LEDs), and are serviceable only
by complete lamp cluster replacement. Each turn indicator lamp uses a filament type GE921 capless bulb
retained in a bayonet type holder. From inside the boot, turn the bulb holder anti-clockwise to release from the
lamp body, and withdraw the bulb.

Rear Fog and Reverse Lamps

A secondary lamp is mounted inboard of each rear lamp cluster, to provide a rear fog lamp on the driver's
side, and a reversing lamp on the passenger side. Both these lamps are sealed units containing a ring of
LEDs, which are serviceable only by replacement of the complete lamp. Note that this process requires the
rear bumper to be removed (see sub-section BV.7).
Centre High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL)
The CHMSL, mounted to the underside of the rear aerofoil, uses a string of light emitting diodes (LEDs)
for optimum visibility. The lamp is a sealed unit with no replaceable bulbs, and may be replaced complete, after
releasing the two retaining screws and unplugging the harness connector.

Side Repeater Lamps

The side repeater lamps are mounted in the front clamshell behind each wheelarch, and use durable light
emitting diodes (LEDs). The lamps are servicable only by complete replacement, the lamp being secured by
an adhesive gasket.

Licence Plate Lamps

To replace a bulb in a rear licence plate lamp, first remove the two screws securing the lamp to the body,
and withdraw sufficiently to allow access to the festoon bulb.
Interior Lamp
To withdraw the interior lamp from the roof trim panel, first ease one end of the lamp from its aperture.
Withdraw the lamp sufficiently to allow access to the festoon bulb, if necessary, unplugging the harness con-
nector.
MR13 - INSTRUMENT PANEL
The instrument panel is mounted on the Fascia Dash Panel, but may be removed separately:
1. Remove the instrument cowl top access panel by lifting the forward end free from its Griplock strips, and
unhook the rearward end.
2. Unplug the harness connectors from the instrument panel. Release the two screws securing the top of the
instrument panel to the cowl flange, and the two screws securing the back face of the unit to the support
plate.
3. From within the coin pocket outboard of the steering column, remove the blanking sticker and release the
switch panel fixing screw. Carefully prise the outboard switch panel out with its two Tower clips. Unplug
the switch harness connector.
4. Carefully prise out the inboard switch panel with its four Tower clips and unplug the switch harness con-
nectors.
5. Release the two screws securing the instrument panel to the fascia, and withdraw the unit.
