Thanks, I'm going to do the fogs and also give the rear lights a go.

The tint I used (ebay link in an earlier post) is spot on. Really good quality and easy to work with. Tips: Use a sharp X-Acto knife, you will get much cleaner cut lines. Apply generous amounts of heat with a heat gun. Ideally, put the car in the garage and heat the space with a radiator until...

I finally got around to doing it. In my opinion, it looks great. It really changes the look of the car, all for a grand total of £30!

Oh ok, looks very dark! Fingers crossed the tint arrives today/tomorrow, I'll post some pics ASAP. Depending on how it looks I may also look at doing the rears.

I am going for a light smoke, not sure how well this will cover the orange? Looks like you have used dark smoke or black, surely this must heavily reduce the amount of light let through? Has it been through MOT?

I'm tempted to cover the whole headlight including reflector. I'm just not sure how legal this is? I'm guessing if it would pass MOT standards then it would be fully road legal?

I see what you are saying, I'm just not sure how its going to look if only the reflectors are covered in a light smoke against the white paintwork. I have ordered some of this, it appears to be good quality compared to some of the other rubbish being sold...

Ah ok, I see now. Next question...... how do I access the reflective strip, would I need to disassemble the pod? The car above is black and suits the black paintwork, not sure how this would look on white? Perhaps I could cover with another colour?

Like tinting your windows? How legal is it?

Hello all, first post.... I have a Grancabrio 2010 with the dated orange headlight indicators. My car is white and they stick out like a sore thumb! I would so much prefer the clear indicators on the facelift models or even better the darker tint headlights as I think these look great against...
