What about 03 and up?

I haven't seen any for 03 up. However, hacknslash makes custom retrofits.

I dont think he's taking orders anymore though (for the moment i should say)...something about being backed up with previous orders. Not sure if he still is, but that was the last i heard...

I'm tempted to get the projectors (I have an '00).

I wanna see more pics of the output though.

For the record, I received an e-mail from Morette last wqeek. They are now down to 380USD. And you don't need a cover, they are really not that much less aerodynamic.

I was joking bout the Aero thing, I still would prefer a lense on em

Wow, that's not too bad, really...

I'm planning to do my own custom retrofit for my car and $380 isn't too bad comparing prices. I've heard a couple complaints from some HID/projector guys about the Morette headlights, though. I'll have to check into it more. Did you get that price straight from Morette?

Yeah, he msg'd me on SRT Forums last week, he had 30 sets left at last count.

I used to have the Morettes, don't waste your money, use it on something better, the output in low beam is HORRIBLE.......worse than stock, the highs are REDICULOUSLY bright, you could seriously land the space shuttle with them.......so bright in fact, that you CAN NOT use them if there is another car comming towards you, this is why they will never be DOT legal, that is what Patrick over at Morette told me recently.

Retro's really aren't that hard, its the finishing work, or making them look like they belong thats tough.

not a bad price....too bad i didn't have a 03+ or i'd be all over them

Hey Lambo, what about popping some HIDs into those projectors? Would the increased light output from the HIDs offset the horrible projector design?

lambostealth · Post by **lambostealth** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 4:00 pm

Well, don't be mistaken, they aren't projectors, they are very poorly made reflectors, an HID kit, will just create MAD glare, and since it is a tractor light, it will be a HORRIBLE beam pattern, more like a cone beam, spreading light EVERYWHERE.

Well, at least you wouldn't get run into by cargo ships or oil tankers... =]

I didn't realize they were not true projector housings, bummer.

there have been a couple of guys to take these and retro projectors into the housings and at that point they are sick looking. and the performance of them is outstanding. I will try to find some pics of this done. You won't believe your eyes when you see it.

Yeah, haknslash is king shit when it comes to projector retrofits.

I'm trying to get a hold of him to help me with my project...

Here's a few that he's done:
