There's plenty of photos on the manufactures site.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

It'd probably look alright with the black like the ones that're selling on eBay atm. Maybe if someone chops that pic in black 8)

Hi, I bought the Morette headlamps and sprayed them in Brilliant Black to match my car. With the standard H7 projector beams the light output is far superior to the original NB8A Headlamps, with high beam on the difference is amazing.
I have since converted the projector lamps (low beam) to HID 6000k globes, suffice to say that I would never go back to the standard lamps.

Total Cost for the changeover including Morette Headlamps and the HID lighting kit was $449.00

Having owned an NA, an NB8A and now an SP, the NB8A headlights are very, very poor and they really need all the help you can give them.
The NB8B's have quite reasonable lights IMHO.

Here are photos of Morette Headlamps with 6000k HID Lamps. The small lamps below are LED Daytime Running Lamps.
