If you broke the lenses, and can't purchase new ones I'm not sure how you could even attempt to retro them. You need a lens of some sort to protect the projector. Not that I don't think it's possible, I just don't know how you'd be able to pull it off.

All i have to say is good luck

You cant do a retro, unless the projector is protected. You can make a new lens with acrylic, but its extremely difficult. Sell the morettes, and a retro a set of depos.

i love the look of the morettes. ill hang on to them and hopefully get ahold of a new set of lenses for them. they are useable but one of the lesnes is pretty battered up. hopefully i can get a hold of a new lense

Thanks Crystal! Very helpful, as always!

Not my style, but hey, to each their own...

They are quite unique, much more popular in the Subie world. Retailed at $500USD and are not street legal in the US.

i love the look of them. going to be getting a cbd vented hood soon, so that should make them look even better! gonna spend some time on the detail of the car and making it look good.
