i ordered mine from here...

http://morette.co.uk/

But after realising about the phone number and email etc, i cut my losses and just bought another pair off the bay instead!

Teach me for not calling or checking in some way before ordering i guess?? Bloody waste of £68 tho!!

Have they gone under again, as I have ordered/recieved a set of inners about 4 months ago.
I'm not up to speed on the current situation with Morette inners, since I don't have Morettes any more.

But they were as rare as hen's teeth, which is one reason I went projector.

I have replaced both pairs of lamps in mine over the last year or so, bought the outers off ebay, can't recall where I got the inners from, probably ebay again!

Outers have never been a problem, a decent motor factor could probably source some, and even if you INSISTED on Cibie, there was a choice of FOUR types.

It was always the inners that were a prob to get.

If they ever give up the ghost on mine (the inners) I'll probably make a cold air feed from one, and put a PS cooler behind the other.

The outers on mine have Bi-Xenon fitted, so MOT wise it's good enough to pass that way.

Harold (the guy I mailed) was very polite, but he was of morette.com, not morette.co.uk
He was well aware of rumours that Morette went under, but he denied that vigorously.

That's odd..........

Mind, I didn't think it WAS Morette that went under, I was of the mind that it was Cibie who stopped making that particular light unit?

How do you find the HID Bi-Xenon in the Cibie?
I've only seen one.
Dip was poor, main beam was diabolical.
