Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 morrette light interest? - 11/19/02 06:31 PM
hi you all, i was wondering if their would be an interest in true morrette twin headlights? like the ones available for our sister cars over the lake, ie europe. i am currently working on a set for pre 98 contour, and if there was a big enough interest i would make sure i could make this available for all. it would be available for all contours and mystiques no matter what year car you have. i know milan has done his quad beam lights and there seems to be a high interest in those from what i hear from milan. i should have prototype maybe done by the end of the week to give you guys an idea of what they look like. they will be offered in variest forms, in terms of turn signal design- clear or orange, led, and hid or halo. just wanted to hear feed back as to how many would be interested if there was even an interest. and this was not intended to take away anything from milan at all

I'm interested in Milan's set, but may be swayed...need to see your mock-up though.

yea, definately, lets see some pics when you're done. Did you say that someone else had done this?
Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/19/02 08:24 PM
hector,

i am not trying to offend anyone on this board, that is not my goal. I have already talked to milan about this
several weeks ago and he is ok by this, we may even help each other out - sorry milan i didn't want to get
you involved with this. if you guys are so opposed to this thats fine, i just thought the more options the
better for our cars since we have such a small aftermarket as it is.

i'm in if it's sometime next year for pre98s, can't spare any money right now.
Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/19/02 10:24 PM

Everyone was crying over the fact that Chris H and brad noon are closing shop for personal reasons (sorry to hear chris and brad) and now milan makes some sweet ass headlights and toofastsvt wants to make a morrette style headlights and everyone thinks he stepping on milans toes?
WTF people are trying to make products for your cars!!!! Stop the he made it first crap and just be happy that other people are stepping up to make something.
It reminds me of the focus guy that made a turbo for the zetec that was track, Dyno, and street tested and had a fellow CEG'r there to vouch for the performance, IIRC there was a guy that doesn't post here no more because of a nervous brakedown he had about a month ago, all he kept trying to do was knock down the credability of the turbo'ed zetec because he had one of his own.

Guys relax and may the best man make the best product for everyone to enjoy!

exactly my thoughts, the more the marrier..
Posted By: NorMich99SE_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/20/02 04:06 AM
I'm interested, depending of course on price and the like. i like the morette style a little more than the Style Milan put together. (though those are sweet still) Any idea what kind of time frame you're looking at for 98+ lights?
Posted By: svttour2000_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/20/02 05:18 AM
Oh yes I want those so badly, please make them mine.
Posted By: Cool Blue Mystique Re: morrette light interest? - 11/20/02 05:20 AM
I think it's good that more people are making things, and I think it's great that Morrette style headlamps will be available. I still like Milan's headlamps better because they're more my style. I want my car to pass over as stock to some people (stock meaning looking like an expencive German performance sedan, I've already had people ask me if it's a Jag because of what the rear end looks like) so as soon as I get the money, and as soon as Milan has pre-98 Mystique quad projector Xenons available, my money goes to him
Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/20/02 07:47 AM
re this post,

milan and I have talked about this whole situation and are solving it, we are each working on our own project for now and are
considering join forces in the future

thank you

make the market as big as the Civics and Acura market...

who cares who makes what as long as its bein made
Posted By: gdub520_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/20/02 11:29 AM
like someone else said...the more the merrier...for all the annoucements on alot of parts for our cars prolly most of them have not materialized in the yr and a half i've been reading the site...for all the light mods mentioned i've seen 2 cars with different headlights...and that was josch's and milan's...and these weren't announced in the beginning as being for the group as far as i know...just a couple of creative dudes hooking up their cars and then offering to do lights for those of us interested

Posted By: DJCASPER2 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/20/02 10:16 PM
I would like a set of those after I would see some pictures, plus the price also, keep us posted man, you are doing a great job, keep it all coming.
Anyone that are puting there time and money into something we will be able to use in a future props to you guys.
Posted By: gdub520_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 12:59 AM
just so im clear on this...the morrette style lights are the round ones, right? usually body color housings?

if thats it then a ford mis-dealer in orange county had 2 or 3 foci on the lot at the beginning of the model year..when i saw them i thought it was a design change, but i soon realized that they were just more or less dealer modded

looked much better than the lighting the focus has now
Posted By: johnny hennessy_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 02:33 AM
I would like a set,depending on price and if they can be painted.
Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 04:07 AM
these will be paintable, just like the ones for the mondeos

as soon as i have more info and pics i will post it

thank you for all your patience
Posted By: 1sweetride Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 04:12 AM
sure sounds good to get a different look than stock..so I would be interested.......thanks
Posted By: Klasse Act Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 12:00 PM
MMS and Morrette-styled light Nothing wrong with having choices, especially with our lack of an aftermarket. Keep up the good work guys, its much appreciated. Whether you want that stock but not stock look (MMS) or the aftermarket look of Morrette-styled lights it looks like 2 guys have us covered, thanks Can't wait to see the tailights MMS is working on, plus his car is silver so I can see what they "really" look like on my car!
Posted By: showngo Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 03:34 PM
I would definitely be interested in some post 98 lights. Of course, it would depend on design and price
Posted By: Doug Christman Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 11:17 PM
I am intrested depending on the price.
Posted By: Aswiecki Re: morrette light interest? - 11/21/02 11:44 PM
Depending on the price I will be interested in a set of quad HIDs. But it will have to be after the first of the year.
Posted By: m!key Re: morrette light interest? - 11/22/02 11:50 PM


i imagine them looking something like this but paint to match the car and the turns signals being round too.
Posted By: Contour_LXsport_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/23/02 12:57 AM
Looks cool how much will they run?
Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/23/02 02:26 AM
thanks mikey, yes that is look i am going for with the addition of the side marker. i still have more things to figure out before i can come up with a price, mostly labor time.

Posted By: ButtonPuncher_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 11/28/02 08:21 PM
Is that pic real or photochopped? The area between the blinker and the other light looks kinda weird.

Still interested tho... How's the beam pattern compared to stock. Any brighter? What are we lookin at for cost?

Thanks,
BP
Posted By: m!key Re: morrette light interest? - 11/28/02 09:19 PM
it is a photoshop. it is just to give peeps an idea of what they may look like. everyone keeps asking for pics but there is nothing to take pics of.
Posted By: vanctour Re: morrette light interest? - 11/29/02 12:38 AM
sweet looking. Is HID an option? Just asking.
Posted By: vanctour Re: morrette light interest? - 12/11/02 07:57 AM

Posted By: m!key Re: morrette light interest? - 12/11/02 04:17 PM

I would like a set too. Has the price been decided yet?

Posted By: toofastsvt_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 02/01/03 02:12 AM
sorry guys,

i have been really tied up for the last two months, i am still pursueing this. i am trying to work out all of the bugs for the pre 98s right now, and get everything else lined up for them. As soon as i have something more to offer(pics) i will put it up. thank you for your patience.


Posted By: johnnyfive_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 02/01/03 02:53 AM

Posted By: 1BADTOUR Re: morrette light interest? - 02/09/03 01:29 AM
Hey mikey... you JUST like posting all those cool pics for us to drool over don't you...
Posted By: m!key Re: morrette light interest? - 02/09/03 04:11 AM
i just like to see what products might look like that we can get made. it is cool to see something before it is even in existance to judge if we think it is worth putting time and money into. i think these lights are the sh**. especially on that red beauty.
Posted By: ExDelayed_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 02/09/03 06:12 PM
Hey cool! So it will get rid of the orange reflector, kinda like this?

If this is what they look like, exactly, I will take one right lamp so I dont have to build another. Yes, I know its still rough, thats why the file is called 'leftunfinished.jpg'

Oh ya, this one is only a park lamp. The turn functions have been removed. It is also lit by LEDs.
Posted By: johnnyfive_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 02/09/03 06:18 PM
Yes , I am too interested in these head lamps.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to read that reply. It looks better then I imagined fitted onto the car. Its going to be run as is for now until I get the other three lenses modded.

It is very cool illuminated too. If these get created, I think you guys will be happy with the results.
Posted By: m!key Re: morrette light interest? - 02/09/03 07:31 PM
create some for me, or i will create some for you. dude they are looking great. are you working on some headlights too? dude do you have aim? check below and aim me.

Thanks.

Yes, I am creating the headlamps as well. Those are still in the early stages of construction (ie: I only have lows on the car). Im fitting the new turn signal for the left side today. It was almost too deep and will most likely need me to notch the radiator support.

I have AIM (exdelayed) but your not online right now. I will check back later. Im warm so Im heading back outside.

EDIT: It would probably be good to continue this conversation in the thread I started in SW. That way there is no thread hijacking going on.
Posted By: SVTnKC_dup1 Re: morrette light interest? - 02/11/03 12:29 AM
SORRY, just being honest, i'm really too lazy to read through alllll the fourm pages... I just want to know if this is still a GB, cause i would like to get in on it if possible. If not, my bad~ THANKS
Posted By: Smokeshow Re: morrette light interest? - 02/13/03 08:07 PM
Just read through all of the post... totally just forgot how much these were and if there was spots left on this 98+ Morette G/B. To lazy to read back through. Let me know either way.
Posted By: Strahl Re: morrette light interest? - 02/14/03 04:22 PM
Oh, I'm interested! I never liked the light/grill on my contour. But I like how it drives with the new suspension... would definately be interested in this buy to make her look sporty from the front. Should look nice with my nice white racing stripes I'm going to be painting up the hood!
Posted By: Rance Re: morrette light interest? - 02/19/03 09:56 PM
Also interested depending on look for post 98's
Posted By: ABeeSVT Re: morrette light interest? - 02/26/03 02:37 AM
