Iv done sprint blue lights for a few forum owner, colour coded looks better to me, looks like you have done a good job too cool

Look forward to some fitted pics...

I'd like to see those fitted. Might have just changed my mind.

I think those look great.

However I'm not convinced yellow looks so classy. Or green or murple.

But red and moonie, yes smile

I've half sprayed mine and I'm still not really sure about the yellow. Maybe a nice gloss black would look better against yellow?

Colour coded for me as the headlights blend into the bonnet . It takes some time to get used to it but looks better if you ask me .

Just fitted headlights smile
The rest of the car is full of dust so slightly lighter than the lights.

Getting the scratches out after sanding the lenses is a real pain cry
But now happy with the result love

Thanks for the comments.

Definitely well-matched cool

@Begbie if you twist my arm I will agree that gloss black might well suit a broomie wink

Looks very nice suits the sprinty very well, my broomie's lights have been coulor coded (not by me) and I don't think it suits very well.
