Can I ask if anyone has info regarding setting up Emira headlights for driving on the right
Is there a setting change via the screen or are deflectors req’d
Thanks

You don't need to do anything. The headlights on LHD and RHD cars are the same. The beams from the LEDs are more precise than old style lights, so they don't spill onto the other side of the road enough to need blocking off.

Are you sure? In my car I have matrix led headlights but, if I move to England, I have a car menu to change settings according to the side of the road where I'm driving. It is a Land Rover.

We have the same on our Evoque, the option to change from lhd to rhd

I know some cars have that. The Emira doesn’t and that’s the explanation from Lotus.

I don’t think the Emira has matrix lights. The last car I had with those had the ability to automatically turn off parts of the main beam when cars approached and keep the near side fully illuminated. That needed to be software switched for LHD / RHD. Emira is just LED.
Earlier light lenses used to have a kick up on the near side to illuminate more on that side and hence needed beam benders or equivalent. Modern LED lights are flat and so dont have a kick up.
