Had my Elise a month, and just realized that a couple of the tail lights on it are flipped. On all 4 housings, the left half of the housing is lit when the lights are on.

The lights were set up like this:
(o- (o- LOTUS (o- (o-

Instead of:
(o- -o) LOTUS (o- -o)

I just rotated the inside left housing and the outside right housing. Problem is, now the wires coming out of those two housings go up instead of down. I tried just swapping the bulbs, but the sockets are made so you can't do that.

Is this a common issue? Are the left and right housings supposed to be a different part number? The stickers on the housings only say "Federal Inner" or "Federal Outer," no left/right. Hoping there's another way to fix it and still keep the wires tidy.

Some of us sorta did that on purpose, (o (o o) o). It's really easy to turn them over, all the same part I believe.

I had this same thing with my 2006 Exige, The right side needed to be rotated, easy fix no problems with wires/harness.

Not sure, but the link below illustrates what should light up (in yellow)

I did see that mod on the Uberpost. Still debating which way I like better. I plan to play around some more and try to do this set up while driving:

(o) -o- LOTUS -o- (o) I guess that's similar to how the non-US lights work

Turn signal or braking options:

(o- (o- LOTUS -o) -o) for turning
-o) -o) LOTUS (o- (o- for braking

(o- -o) LOTUS (o- -o) for turning
-o) (o- LOTUS -o) (o- for braking

Probably requires messing with the sockets, though

So now you have the wires coming out upwards from the lights on the right side?

Love this diagram for the simplicity
