Now that it's dark on my way to and from work, I've noticed that the headlights on the Saph are terrible, and it's all too easy to end up travelling faster than you can actually see.

I know fitting new lamp units helps, but do Morettes do the job even better? As once you've forked out for new standard lamps, Morettes aren't a whole lot more.

Can anyone who made the switch to Morettes tell me if the lighting improved, stayed the same, or got worse?

Cheers,

Simon

 

you can buy brighter bulbs more watts ,better lighting

 

I have put morettes in mine mate and i think they made a difference .

 

I've got Morettes on mine, but I've had them so long I can't rember what the standard ones were like Compared to my Nova the lights are useless. Currently looking at a HID conversion, plenty of kits on eBay and they don't seem to be that badly priced.

 

i've just made the change i would say the are better on full beam and if your not happy with that you have 4 bulbs you can change. plus they look loads better.

 

morettes

 

Get some proper xenons!!!!!!!

I've just brought some H4's 8000k for the sierra..Were'nt the cheapest ones available but the ballasts/wires was spot on!

Fuck me what a difference they made comapred to the old ones!

Went for the high/low beam as with the single beam blub u don't get a low beam....It's a little more expensive....

Words cannot describe how bright they are!





little video of mine going along an A road

And a picture...

 

I'd say if you don't want to spent a lot of money you can connect an "amplifier" (I don't know the proper word in english sorry) for the lights, consistinf of 2 relayes and a fuse connected in the lights's wires and with a pair of H4 100W bulbs you can do the job. Total cost in Greece where I am from incl. bulbs about 40 pounds!


I've done this in mine and the difference is huge!!! I'll post a couple of pics when i'll find some time.

I use 13090 watt in headlight main part and 130watt main beam inner.
Monumental improvement for Ł25 ish.
I used two x BOSCH 130/90 H4 bulbsand 2 x 130H3 (inners), also got 130 watt H3 fogs which come on with main beam through 1N5408 diode.
Wire up lights through relays, hid mine in headlights and run THINWALL cable to power relays +, -
The diffrence is amazing and so much whiter very close to if not better than HID in cars I used before.
Morretes not a patch on above light swith mods, had 130 watt in some old morrete lights and burnt reflector in mine.
Hope this helps,
tabetha

 

I prefer standard lights over the Morettes. My Morrettes are crap & got better lighting from my standard items

 

They do look bright as fuck mate!

I've got rid of the morrette's, hated everything about them!

How much was the kit Smit?

Oh, and quality track mate!

 

Dan - Shite kits start from 80quid upwards...

Mine was 160 for the Bi-Xenon (High+low beam)

I did't really appriated how shite my lights were until i brought these

 

I've not driven the car in the dark yet so am yet to really find out just how bad the Sierra lights are meant to be!

Ł160 aint too bad at all for that, where did you get it, from Ebay?

Was it something like this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...2142&rd=1&rd=1

 

Mine were brought from the user Genuine_auto

Have a search and you'll see the ones i mean

 

The rally boys ALWAYS say the Morrettes give poorer lighting

More for looks than practability

 

Good man, i'll get looking

 

STANDARD, I REALLY DONT LIKE MORRETTES.

 

I was using 130/100 watt bulbs in mine....

 

Genuine_auto= isnt a member of ebay anymore!!

im interested in this with a set of morrettes.

 

I think Morettes only look half good in Escort Cossies, no good one Sapphires.
I too have just replaced the bulbs in both my headlamps and fog lamps, what a big difference some quality bulbs make
