Hi guys, well I have a set of morette headlights on my bug-eye and the lights seem so weak.. the flash doesn't even seem to do much either

I was just wondering has anyone else has had problems with there morette headlights on their bug-eyes?

maybe i just need to change the bulbs or something? but one of my mates has the same lights and hes having the same problems too!

Advice needed please

These are the ones i have:

 

I found mine pretty pish too, fitted a set of HID's and the difference is night and day.

Well worth the cash.

 

how much would i be looking for a set of HID's, around 100 mark?

Wouldn't it make any difference if i put some new bulbs in or something mate?

 

I doubt bulbs will make as much of an impact as HID's will.

I got mine locally for £50, the prices vary wildly (as do the claims mine are better than yours lol)

You pays your money you take your chance......

 

Dont waste your money on bulbs.Just get some HID's from Bob5 (Aztec performance).One of the best mods for my new age morettes

SuperHID (Xenon) Conversion Kits

 

Ive got the 4300k kit on mine,which is more than enough.There is some suggestion that the 6000k kit may result in an MOT failure and may dazzle other road users...

 

Cheers guys, it's got me thinking now!

Has anybody got any before and after pictures?? so i could see what kind of diffrence the HID's really do have..

 

This old chestnut again.

4300K and 6000K refer to the colour temperature of the "bulbs" NOT the brightness.

4300K is bright white, 6000K is a bit blue...in fact, BECAUSE of the blue tint, there is less USABLE light, so they are, in fact, slightly LESS bright than 4300K
If you want to see, choose 4300K. If you want to be SEEN, go for 6000K or more.

 

And it's the colour that failed the MOT! Too Blue and you will not pass and run the risk of being pulled by an overzealous Plod for I kid you not 'impersonating a police officer'!

 

4300k is pure white and provides the most amount of visible light.

6000k is white with a slight blue tint.

Neither would be a problem for MOTs or cause any dazzle.

6000k is more noticeable on a car, whereas the 4300k looks normal. Both are a great upgrade.

SuperHID (Xenon) Conversion Kits

 

sorry to open up an old thread, interestingly i have the same problem our morette lights are $%^£ compared to the standard ones, can someone tell me which kit do I need to buy to upgrade them to HID? Has anyone done the conversion I guess its low/med skill level?

Thanks

 

i actually got bob's 8k HID kit for my morettes. i'll check what bulbs they are for you soon
