Tinting Or Smoking Headlights

[Nico.]

i been looking at this closely at the minute, i just think a black fiesta with slightly black tinted headlights, and a tint on the wing mirror indicators would look really good... just my opinion.. does anyone know much about doing this too the car?

thats a negative charlie two five. depending on the extent of the tint you will be fine, there is a guy over on ukfn who has completly black headlamos, yet the same amount of light is emited, i have no idea if there's stronger bulbs in there or its just the type of paint. his is an extreme example and he is pulled all the time but produces a certifcate or similar to say the headlamos are legit, its happened that much..

personally i would n't go down that route.. i'd rather seperate the headlamp and instad paint the non reflector parts (the bits that are not important to beam dispersion... so in setec+ trim levels this will only be the main beam area and a tad around the indicator maybe as we roll projector)

i really want to look into this but would rather see it on someone elses first... yes i'm a sheep

its only illegal if you tint them too dark... as i said i have really read into this one

Try that, looks good and is apparantly 100% legal, and it's easily removed if you ever fancy a change
