Default Morrette lights

Hi All, Just wondered if anyone has these headlight conversions on their car, Just bought a set for my 02 Bugeye and was wondering just how easy or difficult it is going to be to fit them, any advice or tips would be more than welcome, thanks

I think you have to swop the motors over. other than that paint plug and fit.

AFAIK

I would have thought it may be a bit more, the wiring may be different but that was on a sti bug eye just check the layout of all of the wires,

Then six moths later traded the car in, Doh!

Did my JDM STI v7, very easy job.

Mine came with all the correct wirring/plugs etc, dont know about the headlamp adjusters as although the morrette's had the motor my JDM STI does not have headlamp adjustment as standard.

I do want a set of STi units for mine - but haven't seen any going second hand yet and am not paying what I anticipate being an unreasonable price at a dealer for some.

Good to hear it's an easy job to fit them - just have to keep an eye out for them going second hand I suppose, unless anybody has a suggestion as to where to get them from?

Cazneck,
Let me know if you still want advice on fitting your morrettes.
I did it fairly recently and it took about 40 mins. Should just plug straight in. Only slightly awkward bit is running the wires to the battery.

Done a set on Sat eve on mates 02, took about 45 mins. Basically plug & play with a connection to the battery & then the lights need to be connected to each other as well. Easy enough.
