Is it legal to have darkened front lights as well as rear, i know you cant have the rears done but not too dark but was wondering if doing the front is possible to. Thanks

Looks like ill afta just get some clear indicators n jst do the rest darker

where would you find the stuff you need to tint the Headlights?

u can buy film i believe or just pop em in the oven, pull them apart and paint the casing and refit

halfords or any of them gay shops that sall chavvy crap hahaha

yeh halfords sell it, you could just paint the light surrounds clack thats not illegal and gives a good effect, btw jack1 i love your car its awesome

was at a show once and some chav had put a pair of his mums tights over his lights

from a distance u cant tell and its looked good but once u got close n looked it was very funny lol!

cheers jonny i did that black surround bit and i got bored cause veyone else did it so i tinted the galss too ;)

ahahah

Jack your car's pimp mate ;)

Can't see why it's illegal, sraying the actual glass is cause it decreases the shine, but what about those projector's with black insides? surely thats no different to tinting the inside yourself.

cheers smithy

copying my last name ;)

haha

the prjectors have clear plastic lenses tho

were as my glass is tinted

the old bill said that the glass came clear from the factory and should remain clear somert to do with light stuff i didnt understand hahahahahaha

i wanted to go home and die after work so i didnt liesten

but yer its still illegal as on any car the lense HAS to be clear

as long as there is a beam pattern it should be all right, the cops argument is that lights 360 degrees around the vehicle need to be reflective incase you park it on the road at night on coming cars can see that yours is on the street

So you should be ok painting the insides but not the lense ;)

I've painted the outsides of mine and the side indicators, there dont seem to be any difference in the light coming out but as previously stated the police will argue about them being reflective (cuz a car is such a small object and can easily be not seen due to none reflective lights - ent the police got anyfn beter to fkn do lol)

Do you think i could tint the front reflectors too
