For driving in Europe what needs to be done for the lights - electrical tape alright or is there a kit?
Never taken the Exige over so never needed to do the lights.

either find the little lever or get beam benders to stick on. Insulating tape will reduce the already poor light output.
You also need a warning triangle, spare bulbs, first aid kit etc -check the AA site.
If you are pulled and don't have them they can give you a fine.
If you're not living on the edge you're wasting too much space!

As it is an S2 I dont think the beam benders work. there is a little level which changes the direction of the lights but it is tricky to get into, definately not a 2 minute job.
Sorry.

what Stephen says, and
if you go through France, 1 of those orange or yellow safety jackets per person !
I would not bother about the lights.

If you are on the ferry and upgrade to 1st class you get your light conversion kit free.

I don't bother with any of it

In germany you should have two warning triangles. WTF will you put two warning triangles in an Elise? I mean it's not as if it will break down is it ...
