Try the fellas in the tech section, They are wells of knowledge about stuff like this. Also if you do ebay try alternative spellings eg morettes, morette, morrete I know it sounds stupid but I find most of my bargains that way.

I'll have a look again, only swapping cause the OEM ones are damaged, one is split down the back and keeps misting up.

I need blobeye ones, mines an 03 blobeye.
Only place I can find that sells them are E-styling.
I have heard main dealers sell them but not 100% sure on that.

Did you notice much of an improvement over the OEM lights?

was lucky had these fitted by subaru as factory extra along with full leather interia by previous owner think they look a lot better than the standard lights hence the shortedge of them for sale so to answer your question dont no any difference in lights lol

Yeah, the blobeye OEM lights seem to hold their money thats why I want to get Morettes instead.
Ebay they are 120 each 2nd hand so for the extra 120 rather buy brand new morettes

I heard E-Styling can be hard work going by the threads on here.
They are like rocking horse poo for my car by the looks of it.

from what i understand you have hit the nail on the head even from the bugeye to the blobeye you have more chance of a pidgeon ****ing on your head than getting some, but wish you luck in your search

E-Styling will be the first port of call I think.
No great rush really both lights work but not that good looking with marks on them etc
Kinda lets the side down having **** lamps on it.

A set went on ebay the other week for 440 which I aint paying for 2nd hand ones.
Theres a set on there now 2 days to go and they are at 200 so will go for the same I think.

So on that note I got 2 OEM lights that will get put back in for the ones that keep steaming up.

The orange bits can stay in there as they aint coming apart and risk steaming up, HIDS will go in main beam but dipped just uprated lamps.
I'm looking at driving lamps for the fogs now and I'll stick in my other HIDS there. They will be for winter use only though I'll run the fog cover in the summer I think.

Just need to find the driving light kit now.

Default They aren't

Being made anymore for the Subaru so second hand is all you will get. I tried everywhere for mine on an 04WRX not a chance
Estyling IF they get back to you wont be able to supply them. I originally got mine from TSL and they searched high and low for them to no avail. Luckily I managed a second hand pair from someone off here, still have the bulbs and glass front but the plastics are shot to a fair degree.
