Don't do it.

Projectors are the way forward. The H4 HID is a b@stard contraption, no-one should use them.

Awaits BOB5/Aztec to come on and tell us that HIS HIDs cure all the iherent problems of Subaru lights

But then, he's SELLING isn't he?

If the Morettes don't use H4, then you could be right. I was under the impression they did.

Not possible. H7 is a single filament bulb, H4 is a twin.

Ah...my mistake then.

I am not a fan of H4 HIDs, as many on here will know, but the single filament bulbs, (H7, H1, H3 etc), work well.

Hi
My husband has just fitted my new H7 hid set to my Moretts yesterday afternoon they are just in the outer dome bits. The Moretts with original non hid's were a bit under powered for back road night driving for my liking .

If i wanted hids in the inner ring of the Moretts I would need another set of H1 hids .

As i have knackerd my ankle i wasnt able to test them out on the road last night but will try and drive tonight and let you know how they are

I hope this helps
