Hey guys
Hope we all had a good weekend!
Just thought I’d share with you that I had my tailights tinted over the weekend and wanted your thoughts?

I belive it depends on how many beers and how well you know your MOT tester tbh
I’ll let you know come MOT time. Chuffed with results. Sets off nicely against the yellow and other gloss black trims etc

It's definitely a thing for a yellow car, not sure it would suit blue etc good work...

There will always be haters and people love everything so be prepared with your pinch of salt lol

Totally agree that it works on the yellow and much less on other colours.
Definately a marmite mod but I think the application on the yellow peril works well.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Mainly done cos I hate that fly eye stuff as it reminds me of back in the day mods of nicking ya mums old tights and wrapping your lights in them to “tint” them lol. Ah old school days. Memories

If the police see it they'll give you a pull and slap you with a ticket, heavily tinted lights have never been road legal, even if your mate is an MOT tester and writes you a ticket for it.

At least then you could rip it off on the roadside and possibly get away with a telling off.

They are tinted with a film not with paint. All light shines through. And easily removable also. Wouldn’t of painted just Incase I wanted to back to stock

The amount of light that passes through I have been informed is a MOT pass according to various sources including my mot tester whom I took it to yesterday. Using the word all was incorrect on my behalf and I am truly apologetic
