Default Installing Morettes

Who knows how to wire up Morette headlamps on an Escort Cossie?
There are some instructions, but in French, can't make much of it

French is spoken in Belgium yes, but not in this region/province
my english is 20x better than my french

try :

http://babelfish.altavista.com

type the instructions in there & it will translate ?

i did my morrettes & it seemed to be fairly simple
as they came with their oen loom, 1 wire to battery +ve
1 to ground or -ve
& the other end plugged into lights & original ford loom ?

maybe french versions are different ?

Just out of interest, and sorry to hack your post JO, but my morrettes dont seem to work on full beam, the middle lights are in fact not doing anything. Anyone else had this problem?

check the original ford fuse for hi-beam - i believe the morrette loom uses this as a trigger, i may, of course be talking complete bottom as it was a year ago i nailed mine in (& i still cant get the offside sidelight to sit right )
