Not to my taste I`m afraid. Looks like you`ve put pre-facelift lenses on :P

original lights, just with a tinting film over them, i thought that with such dark paint the bright white/red lenses stood out too much.

Would have put tights over them and quickly refit to get opinions. Dont think the colour helps and makes car look older imo  ;)

Jimbob's guide is in the index on Common issues and FAQ.
Looking at the two lists, the link you posted has about half the colours on Jimbob's list so worth checking both.
