Std headlights or Morrettes? ..

I have just bought some crystal morrettes, but my mate has just swapped back to his std headlights, and the car looks stunning... I just can't decide which way to go .. Pics and views please

Both look good in there own way.

i think it all depends firstly, on the colour of the car,
and secondly, what other bits the car has to compliment it.

I have never been sure of this myself. Love the car with standard lights. But morettes would make it look hard as nails. Without the inner lense

The most stupid question ever .

A bit like asking "Blonde or Brunette?"

It's down to your own personnel preference, and if you don't know your own mind, then their is no helping you .

standard for me, but if you go down the morrette route I think you should tint the sidelights as well, as I think that makes them look sooooo much better

Like Neils.., good example
