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

they are like what i want m8 , are they calledsumat or are they just a diy job ?

just black headlamps got em off ebay £40 they wer Valco ones
simmlar to: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Corsa-b-BLACK-Hea ... 240%3A1318

only dont buy those they are LHD and would fail a MOT

searched ebay dont seem to be able to get em nemore

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

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.

but they will be modified standard ones, will they still pass MOT?[/quote]

thats exactly what i wanna do to mine

aslong as you dont paint the lenses then yea they should be fine

the ones i got wer actualy manufactured black 100% road legal, passed 2 MOTs with em so should be
im sure they wer made by valco i got em off ebay but havnt seen em since.

If not just buy spare ones and swapp em for MOT that way you should be alright thats what ive done with my rear lights bought spares tinted em n if i get pulled with em i can swap em no probs
