Need Pics/Info on Headlight Switches/Panel

[SwingLo]

Can someone hook a brotha up?

My car is in storage and not near me and my searches have been fruitless.

Can someone tell me the order of the 3 light switches (top to bottom). Specifically:

1 (top)
2 (middle)
3 (bottom)

Also, can you snap a pic with the lights on? I ask because I think my switches may be reveresed from when my interior was redone (and I think I have an LED or two out).

Thanks!

I only have 2 buttons.
top = parking
middle = head lights.

Though with DRL, I don't have to hit the middle.

And yes, they can be reversed, I reveresed mine accidentally once.

Luckily, since it's a Lotus, you can claim it came that way from the factory and most people will believe it.

Ok, so I know what I'm looking at:

Top - Parking Lamps
Middle - Headlights?
Bottom - Driving Lights?

[JohnnySniper]

Top - Parking Lights
Middle - Headlights
Bottom - (optional) driving lights

Bottom is rear fog lights. That's not a standard switch for NA street cars.

Anyone know the part# for the bottom fog light switch and where it can be purchased?

It's not possible to put the switches in the wrong openings, each switch is mounted to a circuit board, which are all daisy chained together via ribbon cable.

Nobody asked to purchse headlights. Your post sounds like spam, just like the other one you just posted

This is not true
The circuit boards are just for iluminating the labels and they have their own power supply which is independent from the switches.
The switches are mounted thru a hole in the switch panel and circuit board and then everything is held together in the back with a nut.
You actually do need to pull the switch thru the circuit board in order to get them out.
The switches themself have a connector in the back which is identical on all three switches.
Therefore it is very much possible to hook the switches up wrong.

Looks like someone also installed your switch panel incorrectly.

From the factory the switch would be on the left and the label on the right like in the attached picture.
I guess this is so one can see the labels better from the driver position without them being hidden behind the protruding switch.



Yours are turned around.
This can happen since there are two holes for each switch.

Or it was done intentionally at the factory because mine came from the factory with the full roll cage. This is 1 of 12 Cup 260s built in 2009 for track only use...mine is special!

Yeah. No biggie. I got it all squared away and even did the 'red LED bulb' for the start engine mod.

Thanks

FWIW, the stock switches that Lotus uses throughout most of the interior are the APEM IP series. You want the IPR (round), and then whatever color/finish/action/light/lugs option. Here's a link to their catalog:

But if it was done for access reasons, then how do you get to those coins in your cubby
