Title: Headlight Upgrade.
Post by: Pete Elite on 02 January 2008, 21:34:42

Hi,
   I've got a 96 3.0L Elite with the plain ordinary useless Headlights and want to upgrade them to the Projector type, can anyone let me know if any Projector Headlights from any pre-facelift model(GLS, CDX etc.) will fit ok.

  Thanks for any help,
                               Pete :y.

Hi
I bought 2 of these for my 96 CDX and they fitted perfectly http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-97-99-HEADLIGHT_W0QQitemZ300186225523QQihZ020QQcategoryZ23009QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem
I can confirm they are the proper left hand dip for driving on the left in the UK.
I did find a small improvement with standard lamps and big improvement with cheap 100W lamps.
You will find that your standard lamps will need changing anyway as these use the same lamps as the mini facelift cars. But all wiring is completly standard.

Questions from the idiot now ... :(

I have HID lights ... and one has the brackets for the washer broken off ... :(

Are these lights ^^ convertable to HID, do they have the brackets for the washer heads, and do they fit mini-facelift ???
