Thanks, STMO.
Will it be obvious if I have them or not? I've not had to change any front bulbs in the 6 years of my ownership of the car.

They slightly flicker when they first come on....and if standard fit you will self levelling suspension 

Not on the F/L CDX

Hence I edited my reply....see above

It was brilliant back in 98 when i first started to drive at night if you were doing something a little silly (well my first car was a carpi) and saw another car in the distance with zenons coming up quick is was a 99.9% likely to be a police omega. In my younger years i was pulled over nearly every sat night as i was always a designated driver and it was always an unmarked model in burgundy or blue with hubcaps.

I had that when I first started going out with my current ol' bag. I was young (a mere 21) in an Astra GTE in the obligatory Glacier White, and she lived about a mile from Blackbird Leys (which isn't a bad place, but got a reputation in the media as it was where they managed to capture joyriders (in stolen GTEs) handbrake turning near the shops and tower block).

I could guarantee a tug 3 or 4 times a week when driving home after midnight.

I used to get pulled up quite a lot when I was a kid too, when I had a....wait for it Citroen BX19  Every bloody week end without fail you could guarantee it, but on the occasions (which were frequent)  when it broke down & me dad lent me his Double Six, I never once got stopped

I used to get pulled over virtually every week end going from Rosyth to home and probably back again. My record was 3 times in one Sunday night/Monday morning.
My car was a MKIII Cortina ....... never happened ever again when I sold it.

I feel like I missed out..

(No, universe, if you're listening - that doesn't mean I want pulling over on the way home tonight!)

It can be arranged!!!

That's quite alright thank you kind Mr Policegentleman .. I'll stick to being incognito on the roads!

(Although I'm half expecting a letter in the post after my trip up the M1 at Christmas - there were lots of white flashes, I'm hoping they were for other people given the relatively low speed I was doing!)

They always pulled me in the 2.9 Granny  at 3am

It was those headlights on the then new Omegas that saved me getting a ticket way back..............driving fast along the M4 towards Bristol in my Carlton 2.0 CD, in my rear view mirror I caught sight of those lights half a mile behind and knew (as I had friends in Traffic) it was most likely a police unit, slowed down and allowed the chap immediately behind me to overtake. He, then a police marked traffic unit overtook me and the latter pulled in the poor guy who had overtaken me, who actually had been driving slower than me!

Once more, missed a bullet as, touch wood, always have done!
