Anybody done anything to improve the interior lighting in their Elise? It's near impossible to see anything at all inside at night
Thanks

Can you read the dash?
Can you see to put your feet into the foot well?
In which case your interior lighting is just fine
Even the S2 has only a single 70s style interior light!

I always thought the single central light didn't do a bad job. I would agree though if you'd been in trying to find something behind the seat, it might be a little frustrating!

Watch on YouTube
Or replace existing bulb with an LED one (might need to modify the bulb carrier / holder to do this, but doubt it'd be too hard).

Already got LED sidelights, and indicators for that matter too, but I think you've just solved my interior problems now

In which case, jimbo, change it back to a normal one and see how bad it COULD be
