Hi,

OK thanks. Could it just need a big battery? What do the two different buttons do?

Thanks,

Scott

Omega General Help / Remote Central Locking
« on: 03 December 2008, 10:46:22 »
Hi all,

Right, the fob on my new '95 Omega Elite doesnt work the central locking. Its a round black fob with a main big button, and a tiny tiny thin button on the side. Both buttons activate the red LED. There appears to be a white LED, like a torch thing as well. Neither button activates the torch.

Occasionally, if I press the buttons the alarm system LED comes on in the car. I'm told it used to work, has anyone got any ideas? I dont have a manual.

Hi,

One of my rear door handles only works now and again (have to open from inside). Is there a guide or something to sort this out?

Cheers

Right,

So I could fit the HID kits from ebay like in this post:

Hi,
Had same problem. Fitted clear lens headlights - no good. Fitted brighter bulbs - no good. Bought an H.I.D. conversion kit for £60 + £10 postage (J.A.M. Performance) on ebay. Plug and play, no modifications needed, easy as you like, solves the problem. Bright blue/white  lights that make you actually see where you are going.

But because of the ribbed lens they will still be rubbish?

How much is a secondhand set of Elite HIDS (post 98) ones?

Cheers

Mark I'm confused, can I not fit the HID kits to my existing lamps?

So there are 3 types of Omega headlamps

Early rubbish ones (like mine)
Later HID ones (like the ones you sold 5 sets of)
Even later projector ones (CDX one).

That right?

Omega General Help / Headlight Confusion
« on: 27 November 2008, 10:55:48 »
Hi all,

I've just got hold of an 'M-reg' 94/95 Omega Elite. Its fine, apart from the headlights are so bad they are nearly dangerous.

Having read many of the threads on this forum (and others), I am still slightly confused. The car is only worth about £250 so I really dont want to have to spend much money (certainly no more than £100) to improve them.  I know the lights have a switch inside to move them up and down, and I think they have washers. I have the self levelling suspension.

Now, the way I understand it, I have several options

1) Upgrade bulbls - cheap, but probably still rubbish
2) Install aftermarket HIDS - I've done this on my other vehicle for the grand sum of £70 (with ballast and all) and they are fantastic, but people are talking about £200 for HID kits for the Omega - is this right?
3) Replace headlamps with later (CDX?) projection units

My questions is, therefore, how good are the CDX units, and how much should I expect to pay for a secondhand set, and, has anyone got any?!

Any help is much apprecaited!

Many Thanks,

Scott
