As i have now sucesesfully instaled my "aftermarket stereo" the only thing is the iluminatn is Blue
have any of you seen any of the blue light kits like the ones sold on a well known auction site
are they any good or do they look naff ? are they much trouble to fit
its just the blue clashes with the orange

The blue switches they were doing on VXON looked good.

apparently the blue led kits are not too clever, too bright and the mid/dash display goes dim. Or something like that. No personal experience of that or their other side effect, being gay. But The Boy will tell you all about that no doubt. :-) snigger...

[Welung666]

problem with LED kits on the Omega, apart from making people question your sexuality, is the car is heavily set up to use lightguides, which require the lift to leave the bulb/LED sideways.

Now the problem with LEDs is the narrow viewing angle, so don't work well with lightguides at all.  Add that to the fact the gay blue ones are ultrabrites, you get a strange effect - those illuminations that come from tip of bulb are too bright, dazzling and distracting at night, and those parts that rely on lightguides are too dim - eg, MID unreadable in daylight.

Oh, and blue LEDs, no matter what the application, are gay.

Any aftermarket HU should be able to match the illumination in the car, which is a better solution.

LEDs have their place as indication devices. They are shite at any form of illumination.

Blue ones, on any device, are my pet hate, and gay as Dale Winton.

No, not me usually!  The only time I have used them was on my old Carina II in the door handle recesses to illuminate them.  

Yes, and they were blue!

LOL, we're blokes, we'll press buttons randomly until it works, but never, ever resort to the manual
