Title: New headlights
Post by: Macduff on 14 November 2013, 16:46:50
Finally got fed up with the headlights looking so bad, I've polished them so many times decided to buy a set of Depo replacements at a fraction of the dealers price don't know how long the will last but they look good and work well

Amazing what summat so simple can do to the whole look of a car 8)

How much were they at risk of being rude? Also at risk of being a geek, do they do facelift ones :-\

They're not ::) inner bottom corners are rounded :y

Facelift ones are flush... :-[

I don't mean to seem to be picking holes :y ... I could do with some for mine as the lenses aren't so great, but also the silvering on the trim is blistering and starting to look shabby, so was wondering about buying some pattern ones to refurbish mine with :y

well done you lot I hadn't spotted that. they were listed on ebay as fitting a 2001 Omega not realising that they are pfl I fitted them with no problem except I had to use the original rubber I have just checked ebay again and guess what they have changed the item compatibility saying will not fit 2001 model.
you can buy fl models on ebay for £55

Looks like it just rolled out of the factory!

I was going to try polishing mine as they're well past their best, seeing this makes me wonder if I should bother.
Maybe I should just buy new. :-\

Picky picky :o the number plates where bought from a recognised supplier and have been on the car for five years. The headlight washers came about by accident I hit something on the M5 motorway and broke the front bumper I went onto Ebay and all bumpers were silly money except one, an elite bumper for an acceptable £30 so i bought it then thanks to Abbs I got the correct washer bottle and pipes so it all works. The wheels another Ebay find alone with the Prodrive rear spoiler it looks like an Elite from the outside just don't look inside ::)
