Out of curiosity is there any difference in performance between them? Always wondered if one out performed the other. Any info gratefully received!

Hiya mate,

You've done a great job repairing the originals but it has to be the Morettes for me - so much more in keeping with the car and just look better.

Having owned the UK300 lights and JDM HID it would be the later evertime.
The reflective surfaces of the HELLA Prodrive lights are quite poor even with uprated bulbs.

TT1815, yes was aware of JDM v Bug. I was just curious if historically any of the Bug specific lights out performed the other. I could very well be wrong but don’t think there is a JDM Bug light. Correct me if I’m wrong by all means. Have a Prodrive Bug & the lights are poor, was considering my other options.

JDM HIDs or retrofit HIDs are your only realistic options. The Bug lights are appalling with filament bulbs.
