...a blasted gritter on the motorway put a stone right through the left-hand headlight lens on my Morrettes.

Anyone got one of these spare for any reason, or alternatively know where I can get one?

I would consider buying an entire left-hand Morrette unit as a replacement, as there is also a crack in the plastic housing .....

Hmm what a bummer, you sometimes get the odd one coming up on ebay, same thing happened to me with my vectra morettes, cost me full price for one whole unit, this happened the day after i fitted them..
I invested in a set of protectors for them, i've just trawlled the net looking for the name of the company i got them from, but can't find it. Let me know if you want the site and i'll find the paperwork when i get home (next week)
I think i seen somewhere that morette had started supplying spares, worth looking into

Try Demon Tweeks, I know they use to be able to supply lenses for the classic Impreza Morettes.

 

Thanks guys for the advice.
I've actually now managed to source a replacement optic for the morrettes from TSL - cost me ~ £80 though yikes !!

cheers

my advice...buy the protectors, they don't look too bad, fairly discreet, money well spent.

 

IF these were for the classic car, that was a big mistake. they are standard Cibie 5.75inch lenses with sidelight. £31.00 inlcuing VAT and delivery from Demon Tweeks.

And exacatly the same part number too.

Strange that Morrette have a £40 mark-up

 

Sorry to jump in on this but did anyone manage to source new age morrette covers?> If so, where and how much?

 

me too. I need a lens for my bugeye morrettes. can't find any in the UK!

 

I'll post the name of the company tomorrow night when i get home, i have the details in the house

 

Ahh, found it via googly

The bugeye morette is available at TSL for £90.00 plus vat (driving / dipped lamp)

Thats the cheapest i've found

Check out my post a few up from this to see which one has gone on mine Remember that these are handed so a left hand one wont do for right hand one If yours is different, see how you get on on a full set on ebay etc. I'll do the same, if either of us find one then let us know it could be cheaper if we pool together

will do Pete. Mines the same lens as yours though. I haven't inspected it closely but I assume you can change just the glass lens cover?

 

Yes mate you can but they aren't sold as a seperate item

They are only sold as units. If you manage just to get the lense on a broken unit, you will have to put the lamp in the oven to melt the seal of the glass, lift it out and then break off the broken lense.

Keep the replacement lense hot (expanded) and then place it over your unit and re-seal

Good luck mate, i'll keep you posted
