Nope. You can only find them used if you are extremely lucky.
they will probably cost you about $700CDN to get the from Morette. I looked into ordering new lenses form them, i have 3 broken ones, it is going to cost me about $400 just to get 3 lenses shipped from Europe.
You can not purchase these new any longer. There were approximately 24-26 sets made prior to them being sent to DOT to approval. They released them at SEMA 2005 also prior to DOT approval. This was a bad idea because eventual DOT denied the use of these for on road use and Morette scrapped the project. They sold off the remaining sets for dirt cheap and have since stopped making them. If you find a set for sale good luck. I've seen 2 sets sell in the 3.5 years I've been on this forum.
I did get a reply back from Morette awhile back about replacement lenses but they are pretty expensive. $175GBP for 2 - Hella lenses and 1 - Valeo lense.
You do have a PM Marakka about how to get replacement lenses though. I found the exact Hella lense from the Hella online catalog and as for the Valeo lense, it is marketed under Cibie. Only thing is it might be slightly smaller than the lense in the Morettes.
The Cibie lense is listed as the Standard 105 Xenon. 105 if for 105mm but the total width of the Valeo lense is 120mm but the glass width is close to 105mm.
Both lenses do need to have areas grinded down to make them work but appears that they will work 100%.
So there was only 24-26 sets ever made????? They are DOT approved for Canada though i think.
