Morette making headlights again....



Maybe painted to match they would look better, but I think the 06 OEM lights are perfect.

Liked the 02-03's but the 04-05 weren't that great...but the 06's.....ick

I agree. That look always reminded me of the Coworth Escort RS of the mid 90's. Sexiest non-supercar ever made, if you ask me.

Since none of the items for Subaru in that list have links with diagrams I don't think they are actually available. AFAIK Morette is not currently making any lights for the US market due to DOT issues and there are no US distributors for new lights or parts.

/\ I know what you mean....have tossed the idea around myself. But in the end I consider myself lucky that I don't have stockers.

Bought the car with the Morettes on it

I got my bugeye Morettes from Z1 as well, over four years ago. However Z1 is no longer a Morette dealer and I don't know of any vendors who are even able to get the parts any more.
Used ones do turn up in the classifieds on NASIOC and here once in a while, they don't go for cheap but that's the only way to get a set now.
Mine have had a few "boo boos" over time but I've been able to keep them together and working. I put Xpel on the lenses as soon as I installed them so I've never had the lens breakage problems that many others have. If you break a lens on your Morettes now you are SOL.
