   Hi, just wanted to know if anyone has sprayed the reflective part of the light e.g splitting the light unit it's self and spraying the insert where the bulb sits ? All the paint is chipping from mine.
   Cheers

   No mate I mean taking the inserts out of the actuall glass. Like you can do on the standard headlights, smoking the inside lens. Just wondering if the same could be done with morettes

   Surely they'd just be reflectors, and spraying would make em illegal?

   I thought that at first, but people take the reflective parts out of standard headlights. So surely it would be the same as that wouldn't it

   I thought all there was on the morette was glass and no plastic inside , never studied it.

   standard lights still have the 'shiney' part inside after spraying which is the only part in the morrette lamp

   Pretty sure they are like a sealed beam....they wouldnt come apart. If the inside of the lamp is peeling it needs replacing.
