Can anyone tell what the difference between the headlights on a face lift scooby and a pre 97?

I have been offered Morrettes from a face lift but have a pre 97 can it be made to fit?

Any help/information appreciated.

Many Thanks Anthony

You may need to change the grille, and also possibly the bonnet.

In all honesty, I can't see the point in doing it unless your old lights are knackered, as the newer lights are just as dire:(:

I put Morettes on mine so I can actually see where I'm going!

Here is a pre facelift Scoob with Morettes fitted.
There are no mods needed to fit but they do leave a small gap as you can see in the second pic.
This can be removed by fitting an after market grill designed to fit the early cars with Morettes :)
You don't need to change the bonnet but fitting a bonnet and grill from a later car is all that is needed to facelift it :D

Thanks to Marcus for the pics from his site.

Many Thanks for all the information.

I will have to give the guy a ring and get them, I can live with the small gap till I get a new grill (suppose its just one from a facelift them?)
