Title: Head and Tail lights Europa S2
Post by: Pidhy on Monday,November 23, 2020, 12:51:48 AM

Hello, anybody knows which car the lights of the Europa came from ? I am rebuilding a 1969 and lights are missing.

Hi Pidhy,

the rear light units were also fitted to the E-Type Jaguar and other contemporary Lotus cars(?) the front headlights are possibly generic Lucas units?

The lights used in the E-type are not exactly the same as the E-type had separate reverse lights.  E-type owners buy Elan/Europa lights so they can eliminate extra reverse lights for a cleaner look.
