Question

Can someone confirm whether with the Scooby twin headlight conversions,full beam means having 4 high beam filaments switched on at the same time, or just two? I have had a number of twin headlights on previous cars and if I remember correctly, the high beam filament in the main light's H4 bulb is not active, so effectively giving you the same total light wattage as in single headlight systems. Any improvement in that case may be due to the ability to optimize reflector and lens design for low and high beam separately.
Thanks and regards.

Morette have a new layout now called "Complex". The "outer" lenses are optimized for dipped headlight and the inner one´s are only for high beam. So on high the outer perform as dipped lights plus the inner ones on high.
They claim a 80% better performance on dipped this way.

Thumbs up

I got mine converted a month back, thrust me the difference is unreal, to answer the question about the Main Beam all four lights give out the main beam.

Team Subaru.

Glad the twin Morettes work for you.

Can you tell me about the fitting? Is it a simple straight swap or a pain? Do you need to upgrade the wiring for the extra wattage, too?

Thanks in advance.
