Yup, that arrangement is the most bizarre of any bulb holders beneath the binnacle. I just finished a major overhaul of bulbs and switches (with binnacle off). I was considering letting those particular bulbs go; even though I'd like fresh bulbs in those four. I'm gonna give it another try this weekend and I'll report back.

Thanks all for the responses. My local Lotus dealer suggested a place called "bugcity" for the holders. And yup, they had two (now out of stock). They are EXACT replacements. Haha, the wacky world of exotic cars. https://www.bugcity.com/shop/shop.lasso?pquery=v600-816g

Thanks Tom! I have no issue with crimping, I was expecting that. I just bought a couple of holders and they turned out to be junk (off car test). This effort is a LED upgrade for instrument lights and switches. The LED conversion has gone great (type 74 LED bulbs) but one of the bulb holders melted slight over the years and is at risk off popping off (and I do not want to do a binnacle removal again anytime soon). Did you do LEDs?

Hello all, Desperately seeking bulb holders for the small VDO instruments (oil pressure/temp, etc) for a 94 Esprit S4. I have searched EVERYWHERE and there doesn't seem to be any on the planet? No luck with SJsportcars or JAE or endless internet searches. Help appreciated.

Hi All, I recently purchased a 1994 Esprit S4 from a Lotus dealership in the Seattle area. Very well-maintained car and all stock. However, I didn't catch the driver's side body lean before purchasing. My bad. To fix I ordered four SPAX dampers (supposedly made for S4) from JAE in California and had the local dealership install. They recently finished but the front end is at least 1.5 in. (or higher) above stock height (although lean is gone). Rear height is fine. Car is still with dealership. JAE is in process of contacting SPAX to remedy. Unfortunately, I read other owner's stories (here on the forum) about this SPAX issue after I purchased the dampers. Again, my bad. I was hoping this due to others installing on non-stock springs. But it looks like my fears 'might' have come true. Any thoughts?
