Default morette replacements

I have a 2000 impreza.
I'm looking to get new lens' for my morette twin beams due to rust.
Could any of you tell me the size of the inner and outer housings. I didn't want to order the wrong ones from cibie.
I haven't had time to take mine out to measure them and was hoping someone here would know.

Thanks
-mike

I don't think they come off.
I found a set from cibie usa for $60 each so I ordered them today.
The inside lights are around $100 each. But still thats the cheapest I've seen them for.

If its not too late to tell you, you don't have to up in the attic. When I called they told me that they are 5 1/4"

Thanks for the help.

I'm in the states so I would need Left hand drive lights. Are yours lhd or rhd?

I've got a set of the outer lights on the way, but I still need the inner lights for the morettes.

Thumbs up

If you're talking genuine Morettes, the outers, (main and dip, using an H4 bulb), are handed, in that they dip left, (for the UK etc), and right, for everyone else.

The inners, however, are NOT handed, they are a straight mainbeam, using an H2 bulb, so can be sourced anywhere.

I would, however, advise gwetting genuine Cibie replacements........
