Fender marker lights look great! Also like the air cleaner doll-up kit.

Morgan 3 wheeler side lights

Morganpark Hamburg fitted side lights to the mudguards. Not sure if they work.

Just heard from my dealer. The resolution, for those of us who have US-bound orders already placed expecting the "traditional" configuration, Morgan will provide the brackets at no charge to allow the dealer to make the change back if the customer wants, at no charge.

For any new orders, there will be a charge for the parts and dealer labor.

This confirms one very important thing - the change is in fact easily reversed if desired! And it's good to hear that if you have an order in expecting it to be one way, you can still get it looking that way.

Hopefully the brackets and appropriate bolts can be ordered for those who aren't nearby a dealer. For instance when I order mine it's gonna be from Norb in Illinois, as that's about the closest one to me here in Texas.

But yes it is good information to have out there and I'd not be entirely opposed to the option of having some extra lights for night driving if they don't hinder the airflow over the cylinders too much.

GREAT news! and probably why they are not telling anyone.

Does anyone have a good FAQ on converting back to the original design?

I have an incoming 3 Wheeler in a few weeks and I am getting the brackets but do not know how to do the job. Would like to learn something about the car so trying to avoid hiring the dealer to do it.

here is what I needed to do.... first of all, remove the old bracket (well that was obvious) It should be obvious where the new brackets mount. One of the attachment points is the top of the shock. You will need to jack up the front to take the tension out of the shock. You will need to fiddle a bit to line the bolt back up. Easy peasy.

Now the fun part....

Most likely your turn signal will be in the way of the strut (actually the strut is in the way of the signal.
it was suggested that you tighten the bracket and use a hammer to persuade it forward. With a 2# hammer I just splintered the wood I was using to not mess up the bracket. I then took a 2 foot tire iron and use the strut as leverage and bent the bracket forward to fit. The strut is really solid tubing and the bracket is soft metal.

I think the”new” headlamp placement really is terrible. Is Morgan still doing that placement?

I have yet to see my car, but I'm told *all* stateside bound 3 Wheelers receive the new 'inboard' style bracket (headlight cans straight away in front of the cylinders), required by USDOT for homologation (even though it is a worse design).

My dealer Northshore Sports Cars here in Illinois has gone and ordered the original style brackets at my request. It's the first (probably only) thing I'll change around once I pick up the car.

Since there is nary a FAQ on this, I'll try to take pictures as I do the job so it's easier for the next guy who decides he doesn't like the new positioning either.

Mine was delivered in Dec with new style. I did post what I had to do to put the older brackets on
