you've also got the little deflector plate on your intercooler the wrong way round as it should concentrate air towards air filter and yours blocks flow of air

Its simple really

Bin the wee plate that you have put on the wrong way round, take the 2 inside lamps out, bin the induction kit and fit as standard airbox.

IMO quads fitted to an RST dont look 1/2 as good as when fitted to a Saff or Escos.

hope your enjoying your car

Original...but that's because I don't like the RST morettes: with re-positioned indicators they just don't look right.

How about: just an idea,

Keep them fitted but remove the inner spots to direct some air to the filter/ standard airbox if you re-fit that on the passenger side. Black mesh both spotlight holes to match, or just removed the airbox side for a more aggressive look, leaving you one spot for some extra light on full beam.

Remove your indicators as they are mahoosive and spoil the bumper imo (they always do - nothing personal). Then using that hole already in the bottom of the morettes, relocate your indicator bulb/led into this area flush-fit style. That way you lose the big-ass lenses from the bumper making that original and still are legal regarding indicators as you've cleverly modified them to fit into an existing hole as a neat touch.
Alternatively with those, relocate the big lenses into the lower bumper as per Turbojon's sig pic, but with the bigger lenses as opposed to a pair of side-repeaters.

Most twin headlamp conversion look utter shite in my opinion - the worst being for the Sierra Sapphire.

On your car its not the lights that look worse - its the indicators in the bumper - they always look so bodged in.

Standard is best tbh - although you'll get bundles if you sell that conversion on Ebay. I got £250 for the last pair I took off a car and sold.
