Hella or Morette Headlight with turn indicator or the ST170...Hella and Morette look almost indentical except that the Morette bulbs are a bit bigger.

I have hellas and Im happy with them but if you get the morrettes make sure to get the Euro gril. Im not familiar with the morettes quality so I cant really comment on them.

morette triple lights with the ribbed top, in my opinion, they are the only beautifull ---> not copied lights

I personally like the ST-170 smoked headlights, but i think the morette headlights are also pretty schweet lookin, its up to you which ones you like. maybe someone can post a few pics of each kind and we should have a poll?

I personaly dont like the grooves in the morettes plus you cant compare hella with any other brand. Its Hella! They make the best..

Jay is right, nothing beats Hella..... Morettes to me are just Hella 'knockoffs'.....

Yeah I dont really like the Morette ribs that go along the edge of the lights.
Personally I prefer headlights that have a plastic cover of them.. I'd go with the OEM european (either chrome, or grayed out ST170), but it's totally personal preference.

morette and hella are just about the same. the bulbs for the morette are most likely made by hella along with the lens. only thing different is the houseing.

They look very similar. The rib on the headlight doesnt look as bad as you guys say it looks. Most people paint the outside of the morettes and leave the area where the beams are to give a cool effect to the headlights.

Theyre not for NA spec, theyre Eurospec, they use the MK2 Headlight harness (2002 and up), but they can sell them to NA customers because there is demand for them, and most of us know how to wire them up.

I personally DO like the look of the ST-170 smoked lights, but there is one benefit of the Morette and hellas that the ST-170s do not have. You can upgrade them to Street legal Xenon HID lighting. ST-170s wont be street legal because of the reflector bowl is not designed for HID.

This was his question.

I don't know, the way I read this is that he can't decide between Hella/Morette type light or the ST170's. ;)

It would also depends on how you want your car to look. The reason I did the Hella headlight is becuase I did the hella tails. If I would of gotten any other tail or kept stock I would of did the ST170..
