tinted headlights?

[moffat]

is there any way of doing this cause im looking to do a euro nova?

[davehaynes]

i would have thought just use the same spray as you use to do your rear lights.
is it legal to tint your front lights?

[Graeme]

I seen them for sale on Ebay.de and they fetch top money but I thought they were manufactured rather than home tinted (rattle tint jobby) I know this doesn't answer your question but I'm sure tint wouldn't work due to them being glass and you can't 'key' them up

[twistysnovagte]

im sure as dam it its illegal to tint your front lights,but i have seen them tinted,they dont tint the glass,they tint the prism(off which the light bounces off) in side which gives them the darker effect.

[moffat]

how hard is it to do and is it mot able

[Sturge]

The yellow tint's meant to be all weather and anti dazzle, not sure how legal it is over here MOT-wise. Remember if you get them from the europe the light pattern will go the wrong way!

If you can get the light apart without damaging it, it'd just be a case of spraypainting whatever you want inside with black.

I've done this with a set of 306 headlights recently, although they have two reflective parts inside instead of one so they're still legal, and more importantly safe, after doing it.

iird walshc did a set a few months back. i only remember because they were my old ones and they looked pretty good in the flesh when i last saw them

[davehaynes]

i had around 30 headlights from the mk1 and binned them two years ago now i wish i had kept them and handed them out for free

[belly257]

surely tinited front lights would be useless in night time driving?

[DAN-F]

i just done a set for my mates corsa b, put them in the oven till the bonding goes soft them pry them apart, i sprayed the inside dark grey, black wouldve been too much, then bonded back together, personally i wouldnt bother on a nova cos the indicators wouldnt match and will look out of place
