Emira headlights

[Abgreenbank]

So lotus describes the headlights as vertcle LED, I can’t see an option in settings for rhd/lhd, is that because you need matrix led lights as on my defender to do that? Would be nice to change speedo from mph to kph for the European trips as  well,  defender has that too.

maybe a software update could sort the mph/kph option,  customer services any chance please?

On all other Lotus cars (so I'm assuming it's a legislation issue), the speedo is set according to the region the car was registered in and that's a once in a lifetime setting and can't be changed. I think!

I'm fairly sure you can do that. Harry Metcalfe did it on his recent Euro tour. I'm fairly sure he complained that the Km/H wasn't large enough when he was blasting through France and Switzerland.

Check out part 2 of his Emira videos

You can add a widget for alternative speed display, it's on page 74 of the manual.

Yes I see you can change the units in the trip computer and get a mini speedo but I meant the primary Speedo, so I guess a software update would work.

I guess if it had ADAS they would have no choice but to give the option otherwise the road sign recognition would be problematic.

No, it won't I'm afraid as it's regionally locked when the car is first set up and believe the region can be changed once it's set. 

The headlights are the same part for LHD and RHD so no adjustment needed. I believe this is the case for most modern LED headlights.

Fingers crossed for ADAS in the i4 too, then..... I can see no (legislative?) reason why the main speed display should be fixed to delivery region (but possibly the odometer, yes....?). It would appear that other manufacturers cars with electronic displays (as opposed to analogue dial type) support a simple switchover change - a quick google lists instructions for several models....

Maybe you dont need to select lhd/rhd but if you can or dont need to select, the part numbers would probably be the same

I know lots dont like ADAS but the blind spot assistance, speed limit sign recognition and rear crossing traffic are very usefull

So what happens if you go abroad? Do you still need those stick on yellow deflector things from Halfords?

I didn't see any on Harry's Emira in his Swiss/Italian video's 

[Abgreenbank]

Not sure if you have to do anything? Cant find anything in the manual

anyone heard the fan motors in the headlights? Aparantly there for thermal cooling

[Bibs]

You don't have to do anything if you go abroad. LED's are much more precise beams so don't spill onto the other side of the road enough to distract other drivers.
