just wondering does anyone know if its legal to tint your front lights ? or is sprayin the lights plastic insides black a better idea ??

not sure its legal to be honest, MOT is very picky over headlamps
but you can get headlights that are black rather than silver inside

i had some on mine

What is it that makes those lights illegal?
I was planning on spraying mine myself, in the areas that they have done here

but they will be modified standard ones, will they still pass MOT?

owell if you see any about can give use a bell m8 ?

because they are left hand drive ones the beam patten will be all wrong, that said you might be able to get em set to right hand drive.
i know you can buy stickers to convert em but that would just ruin the look

those lights arnt sprayed they make them that way
but those paticular lights (in the pic) are from a left hand drive
its not ilegal to spray the inside of them i was just saying they are LHD so dont buy THAT paticular set!

OOOOOOOOOOOO I wasn't sure what you meant by LHD hahaha sorry, I only just clicked

Post by **Octane2097** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 7:57 pm

lol well you should have asked lol
but yea LHD left hand drive sadly ilegal for right hand drive
as i said im sure if you took it to a MOT place they could re-aim them.
