smoking tail lights on my corsa

[webster91]

im thinking of tinting the tail lights on my corsa using spray, any tips or step by step instructions on how to get the best results??
and what are ur opinions on depo headlights? :]

well mate i done mine.. i took mi rear lights out as its far easyer, wash them down and dry them.. mask of the reflactor as this will keep them legal.. i sprayed mine 6 times and its dark enough.. then i put 6 coats of laqure on them to keep them in good order.. hope this helps mate.

as for the depo lights i jst used tinting spray on mine and it darkens them down tho i only sprayed them 4 times with the tinting spray, jst use the same prosedure as the rears

[jamie nivauxhall]

yeh mate taped of around the car tho whn i done the back i took the back bumper of coz it was bit awkward with the boot lid and stuff

mask of the reflactor as this will keep them legal..

you mean like this:

and that doesn't keep them legal that makes it so they will pass an MOT. tinting your lights is illegal because it is "obscuring obligatory lights" which is wot i got told when a cop car pulled over when i had ran out of fuel, they did a once over of my car then told me that my rear lights weren't legall.

[jamie nivauxhall]

yeh like that.. onli mi reflactor bit is bigger not as narrow, wel i thought if thur is enough light cumin through they will be legal :S

[Big C]

yeah so did i but according to the traffic officer anything covering the main lights that doesn't come standard is illegal, but ur really unlikely to get pulled over i never hav,it only cuz i was already pulled over and she was sat behind my car while it was on the side of the road as the battery was basicly dead from having hazards on for ages so she decided to give me a verbal warning

[jrdz92]

hey guys so soes that mean mine are illegal then check my lights out

[jamie nivauxhall]

o f**k reali mate.. that aint good wel the thing is i havnt bin drivin this yet as im onli doin mi test for the 2nd time round so il afta wait til i get it on the road and c :S lol cheers 4 the advise anyways mate...

yeh man yours wont pass mot, as u need the reflector showin tho y is urs dull looking? have you lackered yours?
