Contrary to my initial reaction, ie that nothing could ever be as good as my beloved Granada, I'm definitely warming to the Omega. I genuinely sometimes wish I lived further away from work so I could drive it more! However, I have to say that it has the most pathetic headlights of any vehicle I've ever driven. They light up the road like a couple of anaemic glow-worms, and even main beam just means that the glow-worms are joined by a couple of their equally anaemic cousins. To be honest I'm thinking of buying a box of candles.
I had assumed that they were just out of adjustment, but when the car was MOT'd on Friday the mechanic slid the beam setter in front of them and declared himself to be happy with them. (Pity he wasn't as happy about the bottom suspension arms...

) The problem seems to be that there are no lenses in the headlight glass to focus the beams. They seem to be standard halogen bulbs, ie not the high voltage things (I had to have one of them out because the spade connector wasn't gripping properly, and it looked bog-standard), and for some reason the beams seem to have a blue border across the top, if that tells you anything.
Is it just my car that's got a problem, or are Miggy headlights known for their feebleness? Can anything be done to improve them, or does anyone know where I can get candles cheap?
