1999-00 NB Morette Headlight bulb question

[mx54life]

Can some one please tell me what the "blue/purple" bulb located in the high beam light is for? Thanks in advance.

Not for sure. But an early 'Halo-style' look. Low luminous bulb and looks to have a blue ring surround. Maybe?

It looks like a "city light". Was big in the 90s for fashion. It lights up the housing in whatever bulb is there. Not positive that that is what it is.

yep looks like "city lights" to me as well, just dont hook them up if you dont like them, or put them on a separate switch for them

That little bulb is your "sidelight" or "parking light". The reference for those bulbs in Europe is 501, and they should light up with the first click on the light stalk

Thanks Aki yuno. BTW do know if the halogen lamp on these can be converted to HID/LED? The lamp says H7U 55 watts.

Yea you can convert them using aftermarket H7 HID kits. The beam pattern will be a bit off due to the cone being for a h7 halogen bulb but it can be done easily

Sorry but what do you mean with "beam pattern will be a bit off"?
Would it cause on coming traffic some problem like a high beam?

HID kits produce more light than halogen bulbs, so they have a tendency to wash the pattern out and can be dazzling to other motorists if not dipped enough.
