head lamp flasher

Post by old tiff »

i do no like the headlamp flash by the pop up routine. a bit too slow, and unnecesary load on the mechanics. is it legal and possible to relay (diode) the fog lights to give a flash option? i have the lotus service notes but do not know where the relays ect are located.

Probably not legal as there is a minimum height for headlamp mounting and the fog lamps do not conform to the beam pattern requirements for main lamps.

The pods are designed to come up and flash within a legally defined maximum time.
