Just get yours de-tangoed, you can do it yourself, and it won't cost a penny.Name:  DCP_3548.jpg

Beware of cheap copies. Some of these have come in from the U.S. and aren't road legal.

IMHO, Morettes look the best

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmiddy, no contest between standards de-tango`d and Morrettes. It is however, a closer call between morrettes and the STi lights though IMHO

Your right, standards detango'd every time!

Morrettes don't even come close to STI's

I actually went down your de-tango route on my 1st bugeye. I still personally didnt like the lights. I do however really like these Morrettes, I also understand that it all personal taste, thankfully or we`d all have the same looking cars.

Agreed to disagree

Cheers


Cliff

and one last (better) photo

I like morettes, but I'm concerned about performance.

Are people right to compare Morettes to candles/torches?

Especially with the dark nights encroaching...

With standard bulbs I`d agree, but mine have uprated jobbies and do a fine job
