Homebrew S2 headlight motor installation conversion into S1


Recommended Posts

Hi again,

This may see like a repetitive thread but I have finished sorting out the wiring loom/diagram for my S2 twin headlamp motors installed into my S1. I was searching for this information on the forum and www and could not find an exact thread (maybe I have missed it), nevertheless here is my own version of the conversion. I have set this up on a test bench and have it working perfectly. I am using the OEM S1 "lights" switch and similar C/O relays as used in the S2.

The diagram attached is what I have come up with this week, from scratch. It works. The diagram only shows how to wire the motors to actuate correctly, however you will notice some additions like side lights and main beam output to the bulbs relays (another loom for another day!). This loom will require making up and putting in the car which is my next step, but the hard part is done. I really hope this can help others in a similar position.   

Any questions, I'll do my best to help. Hope the pictures are okay.

Again, I am most familiar with Turbos. I know the components are different.

 

But Lotus saw fit to include a diode in those circuits. Compare this to your diagram.
