Fun drive back from work last night...

Post by dancroft1984 »

Lotus has been off the road for a month while I fitted a new headlining. Went to work in it yesterday, lovely lovely. Went to drive back and the headlight switch shat itself. Managed to wangle enough for it to let me put the fog lights on so I could at least see a half dozen cats eyes ahead. That was a fraught commute!
Got a Robspeed one on order (only one I could find with the ribbed lever) so I'll get that installed when it arrives.

You can take the switches apart and clean the contacts
