light switches

[bordseye]

S2 111R with those extra little round foglights / driving lights. embarrassing question but how do you turn them off? I cant find a switch in the car, and I cant find any reference to switching them on or off in the manual.

at the mo, they simply come on and off with the headlights which means an excessive 6 lights dazzling low flying aircraft.

As far as I know, you can't switch them off, they are part of the main-beam light-set.

A lotus has lights that could dazzle a low flying aircraft?

Yeah... check that your car ain't stuck on main-beam... and check that the driving lights (in the grill) aren't staying on with dip beam... either could indicate an electrical gremlin

I think you will find they are driving lights, designed to enhance the quantity of illumination on your main beam... for quality see HIDs.

I had a quick check on SeLOC TechWiki for the fuse box, but there does nto appear to be a separate fuse for that feed.

I do not believe they were ever intended to be operated independently on main beam.

Mine does with HIDs, I was lighting signs up from a long long distance away the other day on the motorway.

Yes - the spot lights are an embarrassing chav type extra, and they seem to point in any direction including upwards

I have the extra driving lights and HID's upgrade. Though they are now "comfortable" they couldnt bother a truck driver let alone an aircraft.

Mine light up half the street, did you actually fit your HIDs or leave them in the box, lol
