any opinions welcomed

Not to my taste I`m afraid. Looks like you`ve put pre-facelift lenses on :P

Ditto  :-/

original lights, just with a tinting film over them, i thought that with such dark paint the bright white/red lenses stood out too much.

Not to my liking but .........


Everyone is entitled to do what they like to their own car and so if your happy with it then that's all that counts really  :y

just on another topic, my car is a very deep purple, anyone here know what this colour is called?

I like them. But I prefer the darker prefacelift lights.  :y :y

trust me there darker in person.

for those that do like them i used the kit from http://flyeyeskit.co.uk/

Mmmm .. i prefer the "before" as well  :-/ :-/

Would have put tights over them and quickly refit to get opinions. Dont think the colour helps and makes car look older imo  ;)

... then, if you wish, look up the poncy official colour name for your paint code on t'internet such as here:

(Could have sworn I saw these on OOF at some point but can't find them today)

:y

i think they look alright but as someone said probably aged the car a bit as most lights are led's and chrome these days!

cheers for the link to paints, ill have a look tomorow,
i wanted a different look and to blend the lights to the color of the car a bit, theres just no aftermarket lights for these that i can find

Jimbob's guide is in the index on Common issues and FAQ.
Looking at the two lists, the link you posted has about half the colours on Jimbob's list so worth checking both.

There is very little in the aftermarket for Omegas generally (as I've been discovering since 2004!)

I'd say go for a tint as near as you can to the cars colour.

Interesting stuff that film.. :y :y

Thanks MV6Matt - that's much better  :y
