I have come to the opinion that they are shit, I hate morretts with a passion but I think I may need to use them. what can I do to improve the standard lights?

i think the morretes suit the sierra more than most cars

As far as I'm aware, there is three different types of HID kits:

Type 1: Single arc, like a H1 bulb, no good for the standard sierra lights, they have H4's which are twin filament. You can get them in H4 though.

Type 2: HID Bi-xenon, these have their low beam as HID and a normal bulb for high beam. These are the most common type of H4 HID lights

Type 3: HID Hi/Low, These use magnets to move the angle of the bulb, so you get high and low beams. Alot dearer than type 2 HID kits

Aswell as the different type of kits, HID's come in differents colours! ranging a yellow to a voilet. the best colour being the blue.
HID are measured in 'k's' the blue range is 6000k to 8000k approx.

I'm not an expert on these lights, this is what I have learn because I have just brought a set of HID Hi/Low's off eBay for £169

We tend to find that there is less light output when using Morretts than standard

Yep my Saff has headlights are fucking pants, might as well just use the sidelights for the difference it makes.

BUT I think Morettes look fucking pants on a Saffy. BUT BUT BUT there's NO FUCKING WAY I'm spending £200+ to upgrade.

Can't you just get higher wattage bulbs for the standard lights??

Might be worth giving the bowl a wash and polish the lens and reflector before you spend any money.
Using higher wattage bulbs can cause problems because of the old Ford wiring loom.

Amen

Mine are verging on bloody dangerous - would seriously be interested in finding the best option/price.

DOO

Rousesports had higher output bulbs from new also been told the wireing was modded for a higher voltage.

Ginge !

sell the car and buy a rouse for 10k, great sales pitch there tone
