Back in the days of my previous Subaru (MY99) I used a Morette headlight conversion to over come the poor standard headlights.
Now I own another Subaru (again with poor headlights) I want Morettes again.
Previously there was a group buy that allowed me to get them at a very good price!!
So I will start contacting suppliers to see what can be done, just let me know if you are interested (to get numbers) and I will see what sort of discount I can negoiate.
Before you ask, I'm only going to find about the classic version (and not the bugeyes! - sorry!) MY92-00* only!
If I remember correctly they come with or without height adjustment! (UK/Euro cars will need height adjustment, Japanese imports will not)
* - These lights will leave a slight gap between the headlight and the grill on MY92-96.

OK, that's two sets of UK/height adjustable ones! 
Hope you are well Paul! Maybe you should try and make the next Surrey meet and see the car in the flesh/metal!

Tango you're a bad influence mate
Ok, cool keep me on the list and we'll see how much they come in at, may be worth dropping Pete a line too, am sure he can do us all a good deal

Andy,
Good to see you at PE on Sat. Graham S & I were betting how long it would take you to start modding again whilst on our drive home!
Cheers for organising this - I want a set of Morettes for my UK MY98 (height adjustable sort) so count me in.
Cheers,
Steve

OK, I make that:
6 UK sets
2 Jap sets
One supplier has given me a positive response and will be able to give a good discount for 10+ sets! (So we are nearly there!)
I'm expecting two more responses later on today and they should be good ones as well!!

This may be of interest
I had called Merseyspeed last year enquiring and they had quoted me £270 inc VAT.
Worth a try

Don't worry, when I get prices I will email everyone to see if they are still interested!
Nothing will be ordered without a confirmation!
Cheers
Andy
PS - Prices are looking much better than retail (£285+VAT
)

As I say the retail is £285+VAT, but some of the ball park prices quoted will be *much* less than that quoted by ESP!
As I say I'm waiting for confirmation of prices before putting them on here!

We currently have:
8 UK adjustable ones
4 Japanese fixed ones
I will give the suppliers until the end of week (if that's ok with everyone) to get back to me. That will give me a chance to chase a few of them up tomorrow.
Please be patient as I want the best deal (cheapest) I can get! That should help us all out!!
If anyone knows a supplier I should be trying, drop me a mail!
Thanks
Andy

Please email me your supplier suggestions as I don't want people thinking that I'm giving exposure to one supplier over another!
Although TSL have been contacted!
