Default Headlight Bulb Change

Need to change the headlight bulb in my WRX Bugeye, whats the easiest way to do this with the Morrette Headlight conversion on it. Also does anybody recommend a certain type of bulb because I'm not to impressed with the ones supplied.

Can't answer about HOW to change bulbs, but I'd recommend either GE Megalight 60% uprated, or Philips Vision Plus 50% uprated bulbs.

Both use standard wiring to give good light output, and are well engineered to give good light direction, unlike some cheaper, but supposedly more powerful, bulbs.

The easiest (only?) way to change the bugeye morrette bulbs is to remove the headlight unit.
Do this by removing the front grille, which is held on with plastic clips. This will expose 2 bolts which need to be removed with a 10mm socket along with 1 more bolt on the top of the unit which is 8 or 9mm IIRC. You should then be able to pull the unit forward and replace the bulb.
As for bulbs, I'd agree with alcazar. I put Phillips Vision Plus 50% in my morrettes. They're a lot better than the originals.

Thanks for the replies, its much easier putting a post on here for the info rather than try and work it out for yourself.
