The original Lotus Esprit headlight pod control module (A082M6363F) is no longer available from Lotus or GM. Over time these original units commonly fail due to overheating, failed relays, cracked solder joints resulting in unreliable stall detection and MOSFET burnouts.
This Pod Lift module is a modern, direct drop-in replacement designed to solve those problems and restore reliable headlight pod operation.
Key features
Position memory — remembers pod position even after battery disconnect
Independent motor stall detection
Obstruction safety cutoff
Ultra-low idle current — ideal for long-term storage
Conformal coated for protection against moisture, condensation and vibration
Direct drop-in fit — no wiring modifications required
Custom 3D-printed carbon black PLA-CF enclosure
Hand-built and fully tested in the UK by Digconn Systems
Replaces
Lotus part number: A082M6363F
GM part number: GM16523917
Confirmed compatibility
Lotus Esprit (1989–2004)
Also expected to fit (pending confirmation)
Renault Alpine A610
Buick Reatta (1990–1992)
Oldsmobile Toronado / Trofeo (1990–1992)
Pontiac Firebird / Trans Am (1990–2002)
Pontiac Sunbird (1990–1994)
Chevrolet Corvette C5 (1997–2004)
Important note The Lotus Esprit is the only vehicle fully tested and confirmed. The other models share the same GM part number and are expected to be compatible, but have not yet been independently verified. If you own one of these vehicles, please contact us using the contact page before ordering.
