you've done a much better job fitting them than some people, good professional work there  :y

I am still not a fan of these LED 'running' lights though, I just feel they don't suit the Omega. But thats just me!  :)

..awesome - I've just recently purchased a similar set of LED strips for my Volvo XC90 (tall rear reflector set) and had seen similar strips used for the front too.

How easy is it to seperate the lense from the casing on the Omega - last time I looked it was sealed with black sticky stuff that didn't look too keen to come apart ? Also - is it possible to activate the DRL function on the UK spec cars without having to turn on the sidelights manually ?....
I feel another Summer project coming up  ::)

Pop them in the oven at 210°F for 6min and they should be soft enough to separate.. if not add another 2-3 min... but dont keep them there for longer then 10... you may risk melting them.
I dont know their limits...

As for the DRLs... I just found a power wire near the engine that has 12V... when engine is running so i tapped into that.. and added a switch inside... no biggie...

Let us know how it goes..

Cheers for that - certainly will. Don't hold your breath just yet though - gonna need a bit of planning to allow enough time to have the car disabled for a few days (just in case  ;) ).
Cheers

Looked at links and admire projects undertaken :y  Workshop definitey a benefit as it would make doing jobs that much easier.  however, I have no experiences  in this but wondered if uk laws accept these headlight changes? :question.
Anyone know the answer?
