Morette??
Lets hear some opinions.
I really like the look of them unpainted on the grey 2002 vishnu wrx.


And by any chance does anyone know what wheels these are?

They in my opinion are crappy. The housings are cheap and allow the lights to bounce around. IE: hit a crack your headlights shake = crap. Go EDM STi or go home. nuff said.

I'm not sure how everything's suspended on the bugeye Morettes, but the setup on my car is rock-solid with no vibration. The housings aren't the strongest things, but having the optics is worth it.

I run them and they don't bounce around on my car. I really like that they change the look of the front end.

If I remember correct, they are 17" Prodrive P1's. Might be Rota Tarmacs too.

You must be talking about the ebay specials those are crap.

If setup right the Morettes look clean.

The original GC Morette headlights were AWESOME. Very high quality and looked great.


When they came out for the bug eye, I was very indifferent about them, and I still am... 50/50. I don't like how they look when they are not painted however... or half painted. Bleh.

Now, the Morette tail lights for the GD were the worst abomination in the history of time.



So, if I had to make a graph about how Morette did over the years, the line would have a steep curve starting from GREAT to FAIL. lol
