hi there peeps, I tinted my headlights and foglights, I had my foglights done before but changed the colour this time around.

I did the work my self

if you look at picture 1 and 2 you will see how dark the tint was. I didn't think it would of been that dark and I didn't really like it. so I thought I will leave the tint on till it gets dark so I can see how much light shows on the road. none at all you couldn't even tell that I had xenon lights on lol.


in picture 3 you can see the lighter tint on the left side and darker tint on the right side.

picture 4 is the car all finished with the lighter tint with the lighter tint you can see much better.

That looks sick even I've started getting ideas. Lol it may sound like a stupid question but is it legal to tint the headlights.

thanks bro

top man what ideas you got?

not a stupid question at all

I spoke to my mate whos an mot testers and he said yeah they are. light tints yeah but not really dark tints where you can see any thing. if you get what I mean.

I was fitting the tints with a copper next to me and he the tints make the car look mean lol

I think I may tint my front and back lights but going to make sure that the tint is very light as I have halogen headlights so don't want to reduce any visibility plus I got white halo rings which might not look white anymore after tinting lol

Go for it mate. There is a lot of different black shades as light to dark.

If you look at picture one and two I think they would be mot failure as I couldn't see any think and with the lights on it was worse then halogen.

I tint my back lights ages ago and my side indicators they look sooo much better

It will give your car different look.

But if does reduce your visibility then you can get some brighter bulbs

Sorry but I think it looks pretty terrible IMO.

The car looks awesome! Love the colour!!!

I had tinted headlights resulting in poor visibility. Do it right and open up the headlights and black out the internals. Well be much better!

Nothing against tinting the rear. Could look really good with a light tint.

Passing an MOT test does not make it legal. A VOSA roadside check could find otherwise. Your insurance would be invalid etc etc.

Daft if you ask me to do the headlights (though I realise you didn't ask me...)

Agree 100% with Josh.

Your car looks great but the headlight tints look wrong. Open them up and blackout the internals.

There is stuff called Flyeyes which is made for tinting lights.

How do you open the headlight?

Plus I wouldn't want to damage my light unit

Vosa mainly go stopping rusty cars or vans.

If the tint is legal why is vosa going to stop.

I couldn't care less, if you didn't like it

Not a fan of that at all, makes the car look cheap IMO.

Basically fly eyes is a mesh of tint, allowing the light to pass through. But you will notice that it is pretty ugly stuff too.

This is how my headlight looked after blacking it out and installing LED Angel eyes.

I used to have lamin x, and it doesn't have anything on these.

i think subtle tint works! the other tint is too dark bud

but yea if you black out internals will make a massive difference
