i dont really like them, just my air filter is inside that headlight, and makes a awesome sound!, with the benefit of a constant cold air feed, i needed to extract as much power for as little money as possible!

thats why i installed them, purely for the air, a cone filter on top of the metering unit is totally useless, unless u like drawing in hot air!

Standard, although I can see the cold air feed benifits..

But surely there must be another way to get cold air fed to the filter without resulting to the nasty looking lights ? (again no offense intended)

I bought a set with the intention of removing the middle 2 lamps = extra air, tried to fit them but because the front ends been modded on the car they dont fit

I like them

Standard!! Morrettes on an S2 are hideous (they bulge out like insect eyes!) and so are rent boy bonnets!!

Mine don't. Special manufacture for me as I hate the standard morettes as well...altho I never got round to removing the inner light. But they are well bright at night on full beam: it's like daytime again !!
