#1: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:37 am ---- I just finished painting the plastics of the morettes, went to fit them and i cant get the dipped beam to work on the offside light. The other lights work fine but the dipped projector light just wont work, i tried different bulbs but nothing....
Here is a picture of the back of the lights. As you can se there are one black and one blue wire going into the bulb and then a black and yellow cables that come out and go into the main 3 pin plug. However, the yellow wire doesnt go anywhere, i tried connecting it with the black wire but still nothing, any ideas?
The nearside light is even more confusing...
there doesnt seem to be anything to clip into the bulb on the dipped beam.... why is this?
please help
#2: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:39 am ---- Fuse
#3: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:40 am ---- but surely if my original lights work fine it wouldnt be a fuse?
#4: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:43 am ---- You might have blown it when you installed them
#5: Re: Help - morette problem Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:45 am ---- Wiring looks a f*****g mess
#6: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:46 am ---- Maybe it's not earthed properly?

It's what happens when you're too tight to pay a fiver for a connector

Main beam wouldn't work if it wasn't earthed properly (if the wires are secure on the bulb)
#9: Re: Help - morette problem Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 9:50 am ---- yellow earth wire needs some extra wiring on it and connected to earth point.
as above, dipped beam missing wire from 3 peice connector/whole harness missing with relay/fuse.

I have two seperate earths on mine for each bulb, had to secure one as when I bought them it was dangling around..
#12: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 10:25 am ---- to be honest i was not told any of this on the ebay advert, all it said was that the glass was cracked not any of this b******s with wiring......sigh...
lee it cant be a fure as my old lights work still now i have put them back in..
think im just going to tell them i want my money back... give them a s**t spray over with black paint... p**sed off is an understatement
#13: Re: Help - morette problem Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 10:38 am ---- If you like them why send them back? Just redo the wiring yourself.
All you have to make sure is that both earths connect to the earth feed (one of the spades on the H4 plug) and that each light (dipped and main) connect to the correct spade on the H4 plug, connect some spades to the bulb missing the connectors.
Pretty simple really
Unless you want to wire in that relay attatched to the back of one of the lights, then thats a whole new ball game
#14: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 10:59 am ---- ......they are h7 though arent they? oh my i do get confused with electrical stuff, i wouldnt have a clue to find out where the earth was if i pay someone can they fit them for me??
#15: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:13 am ---- it that difficult?
missing wiring on the nearside light and then earth offside light. earthing point can be anywhere on the chassis.
#16: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:30 am ---- You need two wires per bulb - a positive feed and a earth - it's not brain surgery

It really is for some people =D
#18: Re: Help - morette problem Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:38 am ---- I know it can seem confusing, but forget about all the H4/H7 stuff. Your car is H4 but the lights are no longer H4 or H7 because someone has cut the connectors off, they are just H-Nothing at the moment lol.
The black triangle plug from your car supplies 3 pins,
Dipped+
Main+
Earth-
Just make sure each bulb has two wires comming from it, and connect the negative of both bulbs to earth, Then the positive feed from each bulb to the correct feed from the plug, then your good to go.
#19: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:39 am ---- i understand that a light need a positive and an earth but its jist actually doing it i have no clue. like i said, im willing to pay someone if they can get these to work and will drive to them if its not too far...

thats not how it works
morettes are either H4 or H7 depending on bulbs. All morettes come with H4 wiring
#21: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:12 pm ---- Is the 3 pin plug h4? Because my crystals dont use this they use a different plug. If i buy the pins that fit onto the.bulbs and connect them to the relevant pin on the 3 pin plug will that work? Also, can you buy these from halfords?
#22: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:16 pm ---- yes 3pin is H4.
you can buy the bulb connector on ebay cheap enough; not sure about halford.
#23: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:22 pm ---- Right so... buy a bulb connector for the nearside and connect one wire to the positive and one to the earth on the 3 pin plug.
Get the yellow wire from the offside light, find out which pin is the ground and stick it in there and it should work?
#24: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Seabook, Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:23 pm ---- yes, not that hard really.
#25: Re: Help - morette problem Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:30 pm ---- You need an auto electrician with a collection of proper waterproof connectors. Those connectors are something like Ecosse would use. You don't want to do that,

i though if you use heat shrink sleeve then it will be fine?
#27: Re: Help - morette problem Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 1:35 pm ---- dunno if this is any help to you, just remove relay out of the circuit if not using one........
the h7 plugs that connect to lights can be found at most car shops so i would think halfords would have them.
#28: Re: Help - morette problem Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 1:56 am ---- Oh my mistake, When I wrote that I was thinking all morettes used H1 bulbs and had H4 or H7 plugs (although now I think about it im sure I was thinking about angel eyes).
That diagram northants posted is perfect, just follow that and remove the relay if you dont want/cant work out how to put it in. Last edited by MrrNoName on Mon Sep 26, 2011 2:01 am; edited 2 times in total

You don't need an auto electrician, vehicle wiring products will be fine

I know for a fact this car left the factory sporting H7 crystal headlights & the BSI is set up for H7's.
#31: Re: Help - morette problem Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 10:50 am ---- Ah then he doesnt need the relay. Just needs to make the connectors/wiring
#32: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Mon Sep 26, 2011 5:42 pm ---- Gonna give it a go tomorrow.....
#33: Re: Help - morette problem Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Thu Sep 29, 2011 2:13 pm ---- 5 rollies 2 cups of tea and some dodgy wiring later the morettes are working!! Cheers for the help
