How do you make your headlights look like this? Euro cars really pull them off & i was thinking of trying it on mine. I was thinking more like the indicators than the red car (i will find a better pic with them on a euro car when i get home) -

Just buy some tights from Boots lol

Halfords +50% were rated as the best buy in an Autoexpress test a while back IIRC.

Dont bother with halford 50% brighter, I fitted a set before christmas and they were poop! I had the car MOTd and it failed on the headlights and a few other bits. I bought a new set of headlamp lenses and the car passed. There a bit better but this is down to the new units.

watch out for the legalities as well - tint your headlights and the effectiveness will plummet - on nova lights thats a nightmare!
