Thanks Phil, I was just about to post about aligning the lights! I also got mine from Scoobysport (this Saturday), everyone sees them as a massive improvement.

Do you mean improvement in appearance or functionality? Do the Morettes actually perform better than standard MY01 lights?

Phil, M Hutton

How much did you pay colour coded ?

I'm trying to convince the missus they would be a good Xmas present, but she wants to know how much they are colour coded first.

The cost around £440 painted and fitted (not clibrated) from Scoobysport.

The improve the look of the car no end, it just gives it a far more positive and dare I say it in the PC time aggresive stance. As Disco said when he first saw them 'Much better, changes the whole front of the car'.

The dips at the moment are a little odd (needing the calibration and all), but saying that the seem brighter. The full beams... my G_d, Burns could use the for a night stage! Put some PIAAs on and it would be like a bright summers day, though a little over the top.

IMHO well worth the momey both from a looks and functionality point of view.

If you only change one thing on the car then I would say this should be it.

Talking

Ditto to the above

I was going to uprate to HID but decided that for everyday use the standard +50% bulbs are MORE than adequate and give GREAT performance

I got mine from Pete C. and paid an additional £100.00 to have them painted WR Blue and fitted. Worth every penny IMHO. Light spread and output is very good even with the standard bulbs. I am considering upgrading the bulbs to PIAA before winter. If you are minted you could buy the HID kit as well for an extra £350.00 ish.
