the lights came off here but ive seen them on ebay before, about £70,
the grill came off ebay too, about £40,
a huge difference on the looks for not much money.

ive not driven it at night yet but they are projector lamps so i dont think they,ll be any different

if they,re crap i,ll just drive in the daylight, they look too good to change back 8-)

very nice mate suits the colour of your car

gstylebaby · « **Reply #16 on:** 05 August 2008, 23:06:51 »

Are they set up for over here or europe. I only ask because when i looked into getting a set some time ago they said that they for europe and left hand drive set up.
Do you think you could get hold of any more or past the name of the place you got yours from cause when i have seen these and they're more expensive.
Thanks lee

How rude of me...... they look great mate

nixoro · « **Reply #17 on:** 05 August 2008, 23:29:52 »

Hi these look well smart

Hope you dont mind me asking but were these from a UK seller or was it an Ebay seller from Canada.

If from canada be very wary as they seem to supply for LHD from what I have read on here and other forums.

If a UK seller could you PM the contact as I would love a set for my miggy cheeky to ask but if you dont ask you dont get

V6drift · « **Reply #19 on:** 06 August 2008, 18:47:40 »

thanks for the comments,

i bought these from craig (on here) who assured me he,d had them checked by an MOT tester to make sure they were RHD,
i trusted him but ive not used them yet, they look ok to me...

saso · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 August 2008, 11:22:18 »

bugger

i checked these for the first time in the dark this morning, they are definately LHD lamps

ive had them back out and checked the angles inside the projector bulbs and they are the opposite to the originals

i,m going to try to fully strip all 4 lamps to see if i can swop over the projectors

if not they,ll be going in the bin

craig · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 August 2008, 20:32:54 »

Alright Nathan i had them checked mate and they were ok so whether or not my missus has knocked a switch or not to alter them mate when she packed them??if you look on the inside on the back of the headlight they are stamped lhd and rhd so thats all i can think has happened give Keith(vauxsull) a pm mate he has got them aswell this is the message he sent me-

Hello Craig....
just spotted your Omega fitted with the Black Lights. I too have these fitted and it passed its m.o.t ok although they do frown on them.
Also noticed you live almost around the corner from me so maybe we could meet up perhaps and exchange views and info/
Cheers.....

saso · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 August 2008, 22:03:10 »

If it appears to be LHD lamps send it to me. I'll buy them.

V6drift · « **Reply #24 on:** 07 August 2008, 22:35:40 »

i,m not giving up yet, they look too good

saso · « **Reply #30 on:** 09 August 2008, 20:57:42 »

Don't forget to PM me if you decide to sell them.

waspy · « **Reply #31 on:** 09 August 2008, 21:00:38 »

If my mates GMC Silverado can pass the SVA & MOT's with it's original lights then i'm sure you can do something with your lights. Don't give up just yet as i'll ask my mate what he did, if anything :-/

V6drift · « **Reply #32 on:** 09 August 2008, 22:28:19 »

just refitted the light ive been messing with (to no avail) and levelled them up,
here,s the light beam pattern, naughty or ok??? i,m not sure, i,ll see if i can live with it...

Mr Skrunts · « **Reply #33 on:** 09 August 2008, 22:42:02 »

Deffo naughty.

Nip and ask Gee's if he has some european deflectors in the morning, they are stick on for driving abroud

Forget the above, ours will be for RHD to drive on foreign roads. or maybe he has them for people to drive LHD in the UK

Look on Ebay for some LHD beam deflectors.

Mr Skrunts · « **Reply #36 on:** 10 August 2008, 17:58:59 »

That was the only idea I could think of.

Other one is to sell them and get some RHD, and dont buy them off the German Ebay like Craig did.

JonArgraig · « **Reply #37 on:** 10 August 2008, 18:33:15 »

Bit of a bad pic, but as you can see, the kick up should be to the left, to light the pavement and not other drivers faces

Shame as thouse lamps look well

JonArgraig · « **Reply #38 on:** 11 August 2008, 10:55:54 »

Dam camera phones...

Stuck a pair of tights over the lens in the end, should make it easier to see the pattern now

woodsy_mv6 · « **Reply #39 on:** 13 August 2008, 14:56:34 »

Shame this hasn't work out for you

Look the titties 8-)

Just out of interest, are they tinted, or are they similar to the ones i've seen on the bay for around £120 IIRC with the black backing (projector bit)

Scrub this matey. My mate says his GMC doesn't have a beam pattern like our European cars, ie it just goes straight across if you like. Don't what to suggest matey :-/ :-?

welcome pal, another rotherham local

i bought the lights from a bloke on here but they are unfortunately LHD, they came from ebay :-/
