Bugeye headlight options
Hi all,
Been doing a fair bit of searching for options to alter or replace the headlights on my bugeye. Looks like I have the choice of...
De-tango originals
Replace standard bulbs with Halfrauds upgrades..
HID kit (technically not for road use, yup read all that )
Those ones that come in from America on eBay!
Morettes
Prodrive Hellas
Have I missed anything? Can anyone advise what gives the best illumination please?
Cheers

I can thoroughly recommend HID's they are awesome, ( bug-eye STI ).
I have some Morettes if you are interested, and if you add HID kit to them, you should be very happy !
Prodrive units cost a fortune, so a bit rare !

De-tango and paint reflector covers black, check out NASIOC forums. Its the next step for me following the de-tango - Just need some brave pills before getting the heat gun out...
Osram Nightbreakers I've fitted to my bugeye headlights are pretty good.

Our HID kits are fitted to quite a few cars on this forum. High quality kits with everything you need and full aftersales support.
They are a fantastic upgrade for your model and I'm sure you'll be delighted with the result. There is no comparison between them and uprated halogens as the difference is night and day.

Got morrettes on mine and always thought the light they gave off was ok with some uprated bulbs. I had the american ebay ones on before, I think ultra also make them for UK market from Halfrauds, avoid these like the plauge mine were knackered within 2 months all the silver came off from behind the bulbs, they steamed up and the angel eyes on them were rubbish. Wish I had just paid for the morretes in the first place and saved myself 120 quid

I've a '02 prodrive style sti (has the prodrive heads on) and I am really interested in your hid kit. Any chance you can supply the fitting instructions so I can see if I can manage it myself before I spend? Seems a great price and upgrade (do alot of miles in the proper dark in scotland so the safety benefit will big a real plus for me!)
Cheers,
john

Hi John,
One of the GB participants wrote an excellent fitting guide for the bugeye:

That was for a very neat install
