2006 Exige S, re-works on later models?

One other thing that has been ‘updated’ over the years is the internal design of the LED rear lights.

The first batch lotus used on the early 2006/7 cars were RUBBISH and loads of us have had problems with LEDs failing etc.

The new “C” part number version appears to have sorted the problems out - but watch out for them if you’ve got early ones as they retail at about �140 each.

The new style black dash includes passenger airbag, 3 shift lights behind the rev counter etc.

I personally don’t like it as I loved the cloth covered dash of the early cars, but it’s personal choice.

Watch for the front indicators misting up too - you may need to drill a couple of small holes into the back of the bulb carrier to let them breathe sufficiently. A lot of hot air is at the front with the rad etc, so if any moisture is there it just makes it worse and worse.

awesome, thats just the info I was after

Funny you mention that as one of the rear lights had 2 LED’s out, Will replaced it, lets hope it was with a “C” unit.

Yes, I quite like the cloth/felt covered dash. My drivers aitbag didnt go off when I crashed the vx so wont be missing much there lol. 3 shift lights sound interesting, assuming this only has one?

I will keep an eye on the indicators.

Any other tips?

Yep yours will have one shift light, if you want more then an easy mod is this…
