Here's how to fit these little babies onto your pride and joy, hope it all works out ok
Here's the tools you will need, 19mm wheelbrace, 8+10mm sockets, ratchet, extensions, a phillips and flat screwdrivers.
You might need one of these if you're like me and have a bad back :wink:
Remove the top 4 plastic rivets securing the top of the bumper panel to the slam panel, already removed on pic.
Undo the 8mm nuts at either side, inside the wing liner. There's also 2 phillips screws and 4 pop off fixings (like the ones on the top of the grille) underneath the car that have to be removed - sorry no pic.
Then you can pull the bumper out sharply from the wing.
Then you will be able to pull the bumper forward to get it off the pop-on mounts. (You may have to give it a firm push with the palm of your hand)
When the bumper's off you can start to remove the original units. Start by slackening off these 2 top 10mm fixings.
Using your 10mm socket and extension, remove the awkward bolt where my right hand's pointing, (this is the location for the new bracket that'll support the inside of the morette) then remove the 4th and last 10mm bolt on the outside edge.
After unplugging all the electrical connectors, remove the old unit and discard :wink:
Fit the new bracket as mentioned earlier and ensure the earth ring terminal is also fitted here, leave it a little loose though, because you'll need to adjust the fitting of the lamp in relation to the wing at this point. This operation is the same for both sides.
When the Morette is in the aperture, start by screwing in this 8mm screw from inside the inner wing area. This is where the old headlamp was sat in the 2 locating holes.
Now you can fit the remaining securing screws like this.
When using the wiring kit that comes with the Morettes, we don't use the red lead at either end, so cable tie it back just in case you need a wire across the front of your car for something in the future. You will see the blue wire actually joins the black wire of the Morette :shock: but it's not a misprint, even though the instructions are in French.
Almost done now, (wouldn't it look really good with a big intercooler in there?) You need to refit the front bumper now.
A voila, the finished job looking good.
