Out of all the Morette lights, the Bugeye is the only one that suit it really well. I have the STI ones on my Bug Prodrive and always look out for a set of Morettes for it, I had a set but they were from a WRX and the wiring is completely different between the models so had to sell them on. Johnny is your car an STI I'll swap with you if you want

No unfortunately it's a only a wrx, I've never seen anything like the wiring on mine, there's at least 4 relays in total, it's a real mess in there.

Yours have probably been converted to fit a WRX as there was less wiring than I needed on the set I had, after doing a lot of searching the hassle to convert them made it not worth doing

IMO your car looks ace as it is, far better than it would with morettes, just needs a roof flap to set that front view off.

I meant the headlight/grill combination

There is not much left original now, though it still looks like a Prodrive Bug. In fact the shell and dashboard is about it

I've got that grill in the shed as well, you'd just need to paint a black strip on the lights and you'd be there.

I like the Prodrive ones better than the morette ones.
They have the little indicator light above the main lights
instead of below.
