Default Broken Morrett on a classic - is it repairable?

I was on track on Monday and one of the lenses in my morretts smashed
It is the near side outer lens


Can you get new glass and repair? Has any one ever done this ?

Can you buy one complete near side morrett lighting unit individually?

Or are they scrap and I should get a second hand set of standard lights?

Thanks

It is 4 weeks until the car is back out of storage and it needs to be fixed. So perhaps something will surface
Fingers crossed.

You can buy the glass from eBay..... just search ' impreza morette '

You probably didn't find anything on your search because you spelt it wrong :-)


If you get stuck give me a shout as I have a pair of spare lenses that I have left over. I opted for the crystal lenses off eBay.

Inner or outer lens unit?

Outers are easy, search 5 3/4" halogen headlight.

Inners dearer, search Morette inner

Outer unit, Jeff
Looks like Matt above will be able to dig something out of his parts pile.
Thanks for the size info though, that is useful, as I am no where near the car

The outers are cheap as chips, available as genuine Cibie, Hella or generic, in both flat front or curved, with, or without sidelights.
