#1: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: r1ch, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 3:44 am ---- Hey guys,
I was thinking about getting some morettes for my 206 but the crystals that are on now look and function brilliantly.
Are the morettes any better or worse?
I used to have some angel eyes and they were shocking on light output. Just dont want to make the same mistake!
#2: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 3:54 am ---- Morettes arent brilliant. Crystals are much better.

so better than angel eyes but worse than crystals?
#4: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Sun May 13, 2012 3:56 am ---- Stick with the crystals
#5: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 4:05 am ---- from my standard gti lights i found morrets to be brighter on full beam but slighly less width of light on dipped
#6: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: r1ch, Location: LeicesterPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 4:16 am ---- hmmm interesting. i might stick then.
#7: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 5:13 am ---- Looks and function which is why I opted for masked crystals.
I had to fit hids in with my morettes when I had them but opted for crystals with Hids and the output was a million times better and that's not even exaggerated.
#8: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 5:21 am ---- I too am thinking of fitting morettes to my gti because it is just too much hassle trying to split my headlights just to paint them, people say it's easy but it's not
#9: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 5:23 am ---- I have never had a problem with either tbh. Fitted Extreme Brilliance bulbs to both and the Morettes looked just like HIDs Output was very good on both

it is done it with a hairdryer few days ago, just keep distance so you don't damage the light and pull as you go along or put them in the oven.
can't beat crystals for light output, I would say they look better also but I'm not a fan of morettes
#11: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: gaffa786, Location: 2 Places at oncePosted: Sun May 13, 2012 5:30 am ---- Are crystals plug and play in a phase 1
#12: Re: Whats better? (Looks and function) Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Sun May 13, 2012 5:43 am ---- depends what bulbs you have crystals are h7, my gti had h7's but my xs (both pre plex) had h4

been using a draper heatgun, had my brother helping to heat them up while I tried to split the lights with a knife but found the edge of the black plastic would warp

Your xs would of had frosted headlights then if they H4 bulbs
All GTi regardless of plex or multi will have crystals

Output was very good on both 
done it with a hairdryer few days ago, just keep distance so you don't damage the light and pull as you go along or put them in the oven.
