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

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.

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

... 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)

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!

the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it

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.
