bingoking Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I need to replace my headlamps and wondered where is the best place to source these. I have discovered that the left hand pod has been sitting in 3" of water as the drain hole had a bolt in it which stopped the water from draining away!

Bibs Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Where did the bolt come from? You can get them from PNM I believe. You will more than likely also need the backing plate as that's probably corroded too.

bingoking Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 A bolt out of the Blue. I will give PNM a call and thanks for the discount reminder. Quote Join Lotus Enthusiasts Group Scotland here! and on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdavelotus Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Brian, If you are after replacements then make sure you asked for them otherwise you'll be sold their aftermarket kit. The backing plates are different to suit their inner lights. They have the same style inner light as the outer one except it's H1 as opposed to H4 dip/main as opposed to the Lotus OEM inner which is a different shape (convex) headlight on different mounts. You will have to remove your whole backplate assembly then redrill new holes for the new stainless steel backing plates. If you are just after outers then PNM ones are a direct replacement to the Lotus OEM ones. If you want OEM lights then go to Lotus. Inners are Lotus only if you want to stick with them.

hedgerley Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hi Dave, just taken delivery of the PNM lights compete with new backing and mounting plates. I've been through the manuals - are the backing plates pop riveted to the pod? Any advice on fitting before I set about them and cock up? Needless to say no instructions in the box.....

jammy-pop Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Daft question from me, are the headlamps sealed ie you can't just put a new bulb in? My LH headlamp has failed due to voltage regulator in alternator not regulating voltage very well, along with cooking the battery! Steve.

No - they are not sealed beam units, well they shouldn't be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
