Question

I've just recieved my morettes, and can see no mention of the motors for adjusting the headlamp levels from inside the car! Is this something that you forfit when you get morettes?

I'm off now to take a look at fitting them... just wondered if i need to do anything for that..

Cheers folks.

Where do you install the motors though? I've been out to take a look at them and can't see where they would go? I can't see anything in the instructions (they are mostly in french!) and have looked on this website

Any help would be appreciated before i get them sprayed tomorrow.

Rico,
Hopefully you got the right ones, they are available with or without the levelling device,

Hi Ricco - mine were a dealer fit when new (3 weeks ago!!), and they have the levelling motors as standard. Are you sure you have the correct ones? If you look at (for example) Graham Goodes web site, they list two different models of Morette - one with, and one without motorised levelling.

Cheers Guys,

i definatly ordered the ones with adjusters! I've just got back from fitting them and have sussed it out

You have to take the motors from the old headlights out and fit them into the morettes. It's a bit crap coz where there was a socket joint on the original, there is only a small clip on the morette. It doesn't fit as well as i expected but i guess it funtions as required.

overall, i'm not very impressed with the quality of them given the cost, but they do look mental, well impressed with the new agressive look it gives the car
