Answer = Dip are H1 and mains are H7

I was thinking about 100 watt but am I right in thinking they may be too hot for the Elise headlamp setup.

Does anyone know what the driving lamp bulbs are (edited to confirm H3 bulbs). These could take 100 watt as they are class?

I got this responce back from Lotus:

As the Elise cockpit has always been assymetric, with the focus given to the driver, an adjustable passenger seat cannot be fitted (forward movement would foul the centre tunnel). I you have a shorter legged passenger a 'double footrest' can be fitted.

Passenger Seat Runner

Just relised that the passenger seat is not adjustable. My GF is quite small and wants to be able to rest her feet on the foot rest.

Can I buy seat runner for the passenger side?
