Headlights! What should I get... I am half tempted with some decent morretts but feel perhaps I should just get good old plain crystals.

What you reckon? The old headlights look crap next to my new bling crystals don't they

 

Past Aston on the Heath in the week Karen, I guessed he was going round to you. Getting rid of the orange sure makes a differance, I did mine a few months back. Never liked morrettes myself, think crystals is the way for you

 

Crystal headlights with Phillips GT150 bulbs, make sure you get the sidelight bulbs too

AP

 

thats why i removed my crystal sidelights, there back in the box gathering dust

 

Why the GT150 bulbs? Are they the blue tinged ones? I also need to replace the silvertek ones from the indicators - they are fairly dim so want brighter ones. Do phillips make those too?

 

Gotta be Crystals Karen

The only use Morrettes had was to tidy up the facelift fugly (IMHO)

I'm certainly leaning toward crystals as they will just flow nicely with the sidelights

Minds make up... crystals it is

 

He installed a boost guage for me too... on a pillar pod! I look like a mean racing driver now LOL...

Soulgirl heres a picture of my old scoob with crystal headlights, sidelights, bumper lights, foglights, and siderepeaters. The only problem was that every weeks they were stolen off my car.

 

Oh yes, they are nice aren't the! I'm definately decided now Hope no-one steals mine

 

i dont like the morretes anymore, i think it makes the front of the car look wrong, dont do it karen

 

Hi Karen, yes the GT150's give a brilliant sharp light with a very slight blue tint but not noticable to oncoming traffic, best bulbs I have ever used and I have many in my bulb graveyard to prove

They take the ****e scooby headlamps to a totally different league, they are acutually bright with these bulbs

 

I'm not Sara... I'm doing the crystals with GT150's by the looks of it

 

Are you changing the bonnet and grille too? The crystal headlights will not fit correctly with your current setup, they will go on i think but they won't line up properly and will look a little odd.

Definately go for the crystal headlighst instead of Morettes tho

Tony.

 

Hmmm... so they don't make ones the same size as the originals then? Poo!

 

No, nobody seems to do copies so the only ones you can get are the orginals from a MY99/00.

Same with Morettes, only made for post 97 cars with the facelift bonnet. But people have fitted these to pre97s but IMHO they don't look right not matching to the bonnet line correctly.

Tony.

 

I thought the cars were the same up to 00 *shrug* I didn't want to change my bonet - the grill I could live with but not my beautiful bonet!

 

Tone's right there, I bought headlamps and grille for my first scoob, a 94MY Prodrive and then found out I needed a later model bonnet...doh! Still, made the car look newer.

 

Might have to re-think again then because I don't want the hassle of having another bonet striped up

 

Go Crystal - I can't stand morette's.

I'm also after a set of crystal side lights - but having trouble sourcing a good set. I bought some a while back but were a really bad fit (actually they didn't fit at all) and the plastic housing was yellow and stood out a mile from the OE grey.

Who does really good ones? (that don't leak)

PS - get diadem indicator's...

 

What are diadem indicators?

 

Blue bulbs rather than silver ones.
