I do think the morettes look good when the side lights are colour coded as well, but I still won't change from standard

the one i have now has them.
would look even better with the inside lights having a orangy
cover with a ford logo

do these crystal ones have a advantage over originals,
or is it cosmetic only??

on an escos, morrettes every time - look just as it should - like the grp n and a cars, doesnt look right IMO without them,

but a saph, definately std - the morrettes have too much plastic around them as the std headlamp units are so large.

Anyway, i'm on standards just now so this poll was really pointless as i've went with the minority. For now..

Thanks all
