Default Quad lamps on ERST

Should I or shouldn't I?

Toyed with the idea a bit but am still unsure.

They are the ugliest pile of crap i've ever seen in my life!

Anyone who likes them really needs their head looking at!

Was gonna take the inner lamp out of mine, but am selling the car now.
Don't like morettes tho..due to the indicator relocation problem. looks gay in bumper.

They look like sh*t, but when you've got to get air in, you've got to get air in.
I'm still agonising over whether or not to fit them to mine.
Especially considering possible MOT legalities of my idea of having no central beam units and no indicators, but using side light bulbs as indicators.

Recently missed close of ebay sale - brand new boxed morettes in satin black (my S2 is blacker than black), for about a 150 quid, that would have made my mind up - almost half retail price - gutted.
Hmmm, still thinking, and watching ebay.

Don't think they check full beam anyway, so you'll be ok. That's all the centre lamps are for.

There's been a couple of sets on thee lately, one set still got a day or 2 to go i think. At around 80-ish quid...or was.

Took mine off last week
The inner lights are full beam only and the outer lights also have a high beam capability

I have mine for sale along with a 90 spec bumper (black) which has the indicators moulded in so don't look tacky
Offers, lights and bumper as new (lights have white and blue covers) - 2 sets
