Hi All,

As most of you probably know, I have recently got a pair of Morette Headlamps.
I have just noticed today that on the passenger side, the Sidelight Bulb is on the Outside edge of the headlamp, but on the Drivers Side it is on the Inside edge of the headlamp.

Are they supposed to be like this? Or somewhere along the line, has one of the headlamp 'pods' have been replaced with the incorrect side (I.E I have either 2 Passenger Side Outer 'pods', or 2 Driver side outside 'pods')

Not that it is a bother if they are both the same, as high beams are not directional.

Here are a couple of pictures....

Ah, thanks for that. For the amount they cost, you would have thought they would have been made symetrical! I bet a few people will be out checking their cars when they read this. I have tried to look at others on the Photoshoot Gallery and Google Images, but the pictures just aren't clear enough

Morette did two types of headlight. The one that could be bought from the factory on the 206's has the sidelights on the outer edges of passenger/ driver. the ones that could be bought as an aftermarket setup are like how your's are.

All the morette sets i have sold have sidelights on inner sides. its very possible someone has fitted the wrong pod as replacements are hard to get hold off cheaply iv had aftermarket sets but they are identicalto peugeot sets as they all come from morette?
