Tinting headlights?

[Chris J]

Whats the deal with tinting headlights/fog lights?

I think some tinted headlights/foglights would look mean, but it there a limit to how much you can do it? Id imagine that they were stricter about the headlights than the fogs and people do fogs yellow etc.

Im not talking this dark

But just a couple coats of black tint spray, would this be legal?

Yes.

You are stopping light for other road users to see you, and for you to see the road.

Yes.

Incorrect. It would be illegal on the grounds of utter crapness.

You mean like this ?

Or this dark

Was thinking more like the top one for the headlights, then darker for the fogs

Both let though the legal level of light to pass MOT etc.

Ah cool, cheers.
Would have thought that golf would be too dark! I might give this a go over the summer actually

Lamin-x (or someone like that) do a 'subtle tint' film, which looks awesome on Clio headlights.

it certainly is! though theres no tints on it now cause they peeled off. really need the headlights out to get it on properly and its the biggest ball ache.
