I can't believe you got this done Mike. Almost makes me wish for an SVT...I won't spend the money on mine. Great job nonetheless.

I"M IN!!!! I already got HIDs and with those!!!

mike is the low beam gonna be a clear reflector or the standaed european lens? plus will we have the option of getting projectors in there for lows?

Thank you for your efforts, you can count me in to buy them when they become available. You must be a good salesman to get those made for the Contour.

They do look sweet.. I was just talking to a friend the othere day about how it would be nice to see something new for our lights pop up on the site and Ta DA

Today There is

I hope they get these made for you post98 guys! Those are sick!

wel all need these for us....i somehow dont think they will have any problem selling these

definately needs to have projectors and these will sell like hot cakes. Morrettes + projectors + HID's + Glass lens =

ohhhh yes and either a painted or a paintable surface...ohhhh they will need some syrup that comes with them cause those hotcakes taste goooooood

101% down

Wow, looks like it's finally gonna happen! Good work!

haha hell ya, except I hope if they are going to be painted you can specify what color. Id hate them to only come in one color such as black....it would make my SF SVT look like a coon. The option to be painted and/or have a paintable service would be great.

rather than asking what colors they will probly just make it a paintable surface, that would be more cost effective for them i would figure, or charge more for a certain color which is fine by me ya know....i just want those lights

I don't participate in GB's.. usually.. (I've hosted more GB's than I have purchased from... but... I am in, if they are HID's and glass!

101%

Acutally; just in case some of you were wondering how they got contour headlights.... I sent them overseas about 2 months ago along with tons of pictures and measurements; they are still in the early stages; otherwise i would have posted, but I didn't wanna get anyone hopes up..... but i guess the cat is outta the bag

Looks like they have 2 pair now lol

Holy SH!t, The first group buy I am gonna be in and look what I'll get!!!!!!!!!!! Those are soooooooo hot!

OK, well, even if it isn't a group buy, whatever, I can't even type i'm so stoked!

I was just about to buy a new set of headlights. I think I can wait.

-tropictour

In like no other for those

Could anyone even give a "rough" idea on cost? $500? I could swing that, instead of a CF hood..... And I know it's way early but, time frame?

They probably won't be out and about (ready to order) for several months (being realistic here). Price will probably be $500-$600. That's a good rough estimate. So pretty much start saving and when you hit $500 your in pretty good shape for when they come out. I love these lights and will be saving up for them...but if it takes too long, I might just through my dough into some msds headers.

Just when I thought I was almost done with aesthetic mods, these come along. You know, I promised myself I'd stop modding at summers end and start saving for school. These better be done by then, you don't wanna make a liar out of me do ya?

Looks sweet so far, kudos mikey

same. i dont like them without an outer glass. ends up looking too aftermarket.

Sure looks good to me , I'm sure a lot of people will be very happy .

OK, so now I feel like a stalker...I'm gonna be watchin every post you make dude!
I was wondering, is it possible to have them be HID and Projector for 5-600 dollars?!?! That seems like a lot of tech for pretty decent price.

yes i am staying on this too like white on rice

This is real right? I mean, this is gonna happen...just someone reassure me please....

Mikey told me about this awhile back. He wants these regardless of price etc I do believe. He'll be buying a set and probably me too if I can find the money.

i will 100% without a doubt.....i like having parts that arent mass produced ya know.

The phrase "regardless of price" freaks me out a bit. I mean, I suppose, i can bust out the Platinum, but dayumm, I'd like to know I am not lookin at $700 lights ya know?

Umm and how much did Milans leakers cost? $700 for completely new custom lights doesn't sound bad at all to me. remember r&d isn't cheap.

yes r&d is what costs the most thats what i am slowly saving for now for a custom exhaust. but yes even $600.00 it alot for lights but you gotta think i just spent $250.00 overnighted for oem lights. $600.00 if they are HID'S arent bad. shoot the hid's for the focus are about $600.00 and the angel eye morette style are like $550.00

Based on the costs of R&D for a new product and who is producing them, it wouldn't shock me if these run in the $800-$900 range.

Keep in mind that the already established Mondeo Morettes cost about $625 USD.

Thanks Pete

Is that $625 you are quoting for Mondeo Morettes based on the price in Pounds converted to US dollars? Because if the lights are produced in the US we may not be subjected to the weakness of the Dollare vs. the Pound. Either way I don't think I am going to be able to resist these lights.

please dont email morette as of now as these are all the details that they have at this time. i will talk more about them at spring zing. see you all there.

Like Mikey posted people just chill out and wait. Patience

The $625 is converted from the British pound to USD.

Unlike previous GBs which have proven that "You get what you pay for" isn't always true, I think that these lights will be top notch and the producer will stand behind their product.

Hi guys - Long time reader, never posted. These lights are going to be amazing. I am in for sure, but I expect them to cost more in the $800 range. Can't wait.

I think the saying goes, "in like flint".

But regardless, these are definately going on my car....eventually.

i'm guessing with hids and projectors they'd be about a 1000. the halogen morettes with projectors for the focus r like 550. add in a few more hundred for hids.

I seriously, seriously doubt there is going to be any kind of HID projectors, judging by morrette's other products. I've been looking at these for my Morrettes

Why do you think I've not bought em yet...... Maybe if it were behind a glass lense......

$1000 for a set of headlights?? c'mon thats a little far fetched. If the company wants these lights to be marektable they wont be be setting the price that high. I myself would love a pair however, watch the number of ppl drop like flies more and more from the "I want" list as the price increases above $500-$600. $1000 is just not a reasonable #

Like was previously mentioned these lights are $600+ in the UK and have been around for a looooonnnng time. I've heard about them since joining CEG back in 2000 and they've always been a high dollar mod. I expect they'll run a *minimum* of $750. IMO, the little kiddies who don't want to pony up the big bucks for a top quality piece can go elsewhere for their custom headlight needs. Oh wait, there *isn't* an elsewhere!

I said $1000 is not reasonable. And "the little kiddies" is prob. half the # of ppl interested in this mod. So me saying "watch the number of ppl drop like flies more and more from the "I want" list as the price increases above $500-$600." is relavant. $1000 whether your a "kiddie" or not is still a good chunk of change to pony up. $ is $.

I agree 100% How many here would HONESTLY spend a grand on lights? They would maybe sell 3 or 4 sets and that's it!

I am not saying a grand is reasonable, but quite a few ppl - more than 3 or 4 - spent more than that for a "home-grown" variant of Morettes. I would estimate the # of ppl actually buying them as 10-15.

I'm no "kiddie" at 41 and I'll agree, $1,000.00 buys a lot of new lights and silverstar bulbs. Besides my car won't look like a gargoyle!

Jim

Wonder why people mention the silver star lights ? I tired them before and took them back 15 min's later ,,,I though they sucked

1000 is a guess for hid morettes. the halogens should likely be less. the focus morettes are 600. add projectors and hids and the price goes up. go buy a car with stock hids then smash the headlight and see how much u have to pay to replace ONE headlight. you'll see why headlights are costing so much.

well minus the HID kit and since I have the D2R bulbs (reflector based) my kit should work out well then with the regular morettes..but I'd want to have projectors

in. looks like ill be buying new HID bulbs (another $150 or so) if they arent 9006, which of course im doubting they will be. still, it will awesome.

You could buy 3 pairs of new headlights plus a set of HIDs. Then replace them every 3 years when they get a bit hazy. Still less money!

Or just buy one set of morettes that will forever set your car apart, and look fantastic.

This simply comes down to personal taste and priorities, as with just about any car mod. Some people see sense in spending 1K+ on audio equipment, others won't spend more than 100 bux on their sound system. If you're one of the people that's been waiting years for an OEM type Morette light, this is your salvation. If you're someone who doesn't care about morette's, and doesn't want to spend the extra dough for some different headlights, then don't.

They make the prices, we respond buy purchasing or not purchasing based on our need for the product. Simple as that, nothing we can do to change it.

I am going to start saving now!

news coming very soon.

i wish i had read my emails over the weekend at SZ.

i really can't waite mike, thanks very much for taking this on for all of us.

yes for doing this your name will be remembered in the jedi order,oops i ment the ceg fraternal order.hahahaha you de man mikey

I just hope i can afford em!

patrick emailed me this today about the projector questions...

We will make the lights DOT certifiable, I'm believe that we will not be able to put projectors in the lights and have them DOT, But I will find out for sure.

so that is a little more info about the lights and such. look for some substantial updates in the next 3 weeks.

please start saving now so when they do start production we can buy up a lot of sets of these.

Would they consider making both DOT certifiable and non certifiable lights? (ie regular halogen and projectors).... You know for "off road use"....

one more update from patrick...
â�?��?We are still in the final process of getting the lights designed. We are going to do the test fit in early June. After the test fit, we have to create two prototypes for the DOT Certification. It is going to take a little time, I wish I could tell you how long, but sense this is the first time we are doing this, I have no frame of reference.â�?�

so that is kinda up to the minute on the development of the lights. you guys know just as much as i do so your questions will be answered as the time approaches. thanks for all of your interest in these.

Sweet! Keep the updates coming.

-tropictour

Thanks for the updates mikey

DAAAAAAMN! Is that an update? Or is that the set you purchased a while back? I already had a NARB here at work, and this isn't helping!!

Mark

those are our babies.

When will these be ready. What are they made of and can they be taken apart for paint?

hopefully we will find out soon.

OMG!!!

Those aren't angel eyes on the low beam side are they?
Ahhh who cares!!!! I am so in! My wife is gonna spank me!
Again....WHO CARES!

One more thang... What kind of bubls are they gonna use? I couldn't tell in that pic..since I know NOTHING of lighting.

they look like the factory bulbs...9006 i think

Dear lord.......

Sick, fuggin sick!!!! where do i make my check out too?

oooo

WE GOTTA CELEBRATE!!!!

OMG!!!

THOSE LOOK AWESOME

Wait a minute, what did you guys say these things were gonna cost.....

Huge props for mikey boy getting this on a roll!

WELL DONE!

The only question now is when can we hand over our money for these lights

One Meeeeellion Dollars!

-tropictour

do you have any idea if there is going to be any kind of warranty against breakage on those lenses? with the way i go through windsheilds in colorado, i would be scared with those things. maybe they will just be my "show" lights.

warranty? warranty? now how am i supposed to know that?

i dont know

Wow Mikey these guys don't mess around. Is the one light a Halo? Kind of looks like it.

can we please please please use headlights with halos?!?!?!?! bmw isnt gonna have ish on us!

another option, if its possible. if those lights are a "standard" size, do you think it would be possible to get the headlight "frame" without the light so we can add whatever we want? halos, projectors, whats in there, or any combination of those? that would also be an option for those with less $$$. get the frame, and add the lights, like the hella projectors everyone uses, later, when you have more $$$.

Damnit kingpin!!! mikeyboy is only one man!!!

Lol, you certainly are asking quite a bit of him. He's working as hard as he can, as fast as he can, just ask calmly and I'm sure mikey boy will be happy to ask morette for ya.

P.S. Since I stuck up for mikeyboy, do I get a discount?

psshhh, me and mikey are toight, [censored]! im just tossing out ideas, not demanding them. i realize they are in pre-production and we know as much as he does. these are just questions that can be addressed if the need is there before the final word is layed out. thats all

regardless of the final say, i can say im about 90% certain you will see my svt sportin' these at some point in the future.

you should be backing me up, cause those CO rocks are gonna get you too!

im sorry, im on summer vacation right now, and dont have a job yet. ive got too much time to spend on CEG!

No matter how these turn out I'm in!

Greg

i am not doing any work really. the people you have to thank are patrick and harold from morette and morette usa respectively. they have been great with all of the updates and answers to questions. all i did was email them and send them a set of lights.

Thanks for the work on this Mike.

And FTLOG - NO HALOS.

i personaly dont care either way i want them, but i think HID's would be best. shoot i will rock them if there is a candle you have to light inside them for the light.

Ditto

Long as I don't take the lights up snowboarding, I'll be fine. It's those damn sand/gravel highways in the winter that kill my front end/oval.

But either way, I'm saving up for these now, and I'll be getting them ASAP!

u the man mikey boy.....once their ready to buy i so wanna be in money permiting

Wesley

At the same time...why didnt someone call and send a set of headlights 5 years ago!

I have a question.... Will we be buying these through Morette USA? Or will we be getting them through a "middle man" like Mikey? Another question, I can't tell from the pics, but will the hood "over lap" the top edge of the housing? (kinda hard to explain what I mean) or will it be flush?

Flush and directly thru morette...unless we wanna give our money to adam prewitt

back on topic...i just got off the phone with patrick from morette usa. he likes how excited everyone is about these lights. morette usa just started up in november of last year as an outlet for morette products on this side of the pond.

i am writing down your questions, except for the dumb ones

, and will give it to patrick and see if he cant get you some answers. as of now you know almost as much as i do and there is more to come soon. who has started saving?

I'm gonna start saving now and hopefully when these come out i'll have enough!

Judging from those pictures, I say with great certainty that I would be able to retrofit them with Projectors....

Heck, if they come out that good, I will buy them and do my own Projector version then... LOL

Sorry I'm coming in towards the end of this thread....how much is the projected price and can you have the projector lamps retrofitted onto these?

dont know and dont know so in other words the price range is $.01 - $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... and if you want to do something to them yourself that is up to you.

I wonder what type of bulb the low beams will take, cause maybe if I buy a pair I might have to get the proper HID bulb for it

is this to be a one time thing, or will they have these for a long time to come? sorry if i missed the answer up there, i looked. In the first post it says this isn't to be a group buy, so im assuming they will just be producing these and will have them in the future.

Wow.....you do pricing for the Government too, don't ya??

The 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 I think is also the price of a tiolet seat in a B-52's bathroom. Thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure....willl keep looking for them. Anything has to be better than the crappy stock housings we are stuck with

It's just that people keep asking Mike for the price and he said like a million times that he does not know. I mean, read the whole damn thread people.

Mikey, can bare housings be purchased?

i dont know.

there will be a huge update on the 9th-10th. some of your questions will probably be answered then.

Not to be a D!ck but the Pre 98s are a rare breed...not many left and maybe 3 on CEG that would spend the money on those. SOmeone from AZ or CA did his own fab up...talk to him.

utah

(exdelayed)

edit: and wherever plastixsynthetics is (or however he spells his name). i think he is in cali.

Sweet! Ya go to the Morette website and in the NEWS banner they mention our new lights!!! W00T!!!!!!!!!!!

New products for USA : Headlights for Dodge Neon and Ford Contour.. Will see you at the SEMA in Vegas

hells yeah i just looked at it, i think ours are gonna look alot like the mondeo 2's which will look good imo.

What is the website address???

Cough

DOH!

wow! now thats what i am talking about!

just how awesome is this?

Can't wait

I used to be a patient person until the latest aussie bar gb... I want these babies now!

My heart started beating real fast when I first saw these. At first I thought they were a bit to expensive but now I've come to my senses and realized how much I NEED THEM!!! I have an almost brand new set of Keystones I'll be selling once I get the moretts. I'm so friggin excited FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know i know i want these soooooo bad

I didn't see any prices for the Mondeo lights or nuttin'. How much are a set of Morettes? $50? $80?

�?£332.95 ford the mk2 (98+) convert that to US currency and you have your total. I guess the price for the morettes that will fit the contour will be similar. Maybe a bit higher.

If that is GB pounds, it calcs out at $603 & change US...

No frenchman is getting that much of my money.

GD didn't we cover cost several pages ago? And several pages before that too?

Hooo-ah! Freedom Fries!

Wow! Very nice!! ANYTHING is better than the crappy light pattern that our stock lights throw!!! The light must be VERY crisp and focused with those lenses

I'd pay $600..but they sure as hell better look like $600 on my car...

just curious, what will be the bulb number for the lows..the same 9006?

Nope they are gonna change it just to screw you goonz

i dont know. man those keys are starting to wear out on my keyboard.

Well, my Morettes are H4 dipped beam and H1 main beam.......

All I've seen is guesses and conjecture. No hard or even soft numbers from anybody actually involved with the project.

thats because nobody knows yet.

look for some more info and pics of the units on the contour on thursday night.

Look at these pics...those are the 9006's or whatever or car takes...but it doesnt have the reflector so these would be/could be bright as He11.

Are you sure pete because the main bulb looks like an "h" series buld because of a metal base, Like an H4 main and the high beam looks like an H1 bulb.

Man, I'd be all over these if I still had mine.

Anyone feel like fabbing up a pair for a Sedona? I'll donate mine for free.

harold the rep from morette france is flying in thursday to chicago o'hare where patrick rep from morette usa will be picking him up. they will then drive and check into their hotel here and come over to do the test fitting.

i will get some video and a lot of pics for everyone to see. after they do the test fitting on my svt then they will be test fitting a pair of neon morettes on my friends srt-4.

it will be great to finally meet these two guys that i have been talking to for the last few months and to thank them personally for all of the work they have been doing for us. i have printed out some questions that you guys have asked and will try to get them answered as best i can. so look for pics and more information on the morettes thursday afternoon/night. i will get the pics up as fast as i can.

I mean all I can really say is that I'm honestly impressed.....

To get a major company like Morette to do something for a dead application such as ours is really REALLY hard to come by.....

I don't know what you did, but mikey boy should get like some sort of CEG award or something....

thanks. a little "please" and "thank you" goes a long way.

thank you

These'll make a nice B-day present for myself.

So from what I gather, these will be fitted today? will this be the first day we ever see a set of morettes on a Contour? Morettes that were actually designed for a contour? I just pooped.

That would be it!

Something tells me Mikey isn't going to just up and disappear to his computer to upload a few pics, while he has 2 guests(one from Phoenix and one from FRANCE!!) at his home. I could be wrong, but I'd look for pics a little later tonight.

Oh yeah, and everyone that's worried about HID, there's definitley conversion kits available so stop worrying. The only thing you'd sacrifice are projectors, and it's really not a big deal.
