Standard. I hate Morettes, my old man's got them and I think they look shit especially on Escort Cosworths and RST's.

I love morettes, they look really motorsport I had them on my previous saff, but I have standard lamps on my new saff and I must say I like them as well, I think it depends on what look your after, morettes for that motorsport look with white mo wheels or similar.

I like the new clear lenses available for the esc cos tho the best

I like it how it is too but i just really fancy a change for some reason!

Not doing it to please anyone else, just wanted some opinions, i bought brand new lenses for my standard lamps and lense protectors when the car was being painted and then bought the quads and never got round to fitting my standard lamps!

fit the standards and see how you like them and see if you miss the morettes thats the best bet i feel morettes make them stand out from a standard sierra

On a Saphire, standard lamps.

The only Ford that suits them is the Escort Cossie.

Leave it as it is Karl, it looks spot on (or take the morettes off and sell them to me )

I like standard on white cars. Morettes on darker colours. Or hows about taking the two centre lenses out of the Morettes and converting the outers to run H4 bulbs?
