My mate was pulled over in his 306 td , he was told to change his lights when he gets home as they were too dark and was'nt letting enough light through , so my mate bin the sort of person he is ..... He left them ... then failed the MOT

These are mine ... look good in day ... look good at night and aint too dark ..

PS: They both look the same in person I think its just the way the light is that the one on the right looks darker for sum reason ..

Oh yea if police stop me leaste I can just rip em off ....

Just buy tinting spray, can get it from most motorfactors
It is, and does say so on the tin, NOT for road use though. So the police can be ****y with you about it :p and most MOT testers wont pass it
Luckily not had any bother with mine :thumb:

I drove around with these on my old polo for well over a year, was pulled loads and none of the officers said anything :D

Oh, and a little talk through on how to do it...
Give the lenses a good clean/scrub
Give them a rub down with some 800 grit sand paper, just enough to score (sp?) the lense so the paint sticks
Give them a wipe with a clean cloth (lint free) so that there is no dust left
The do one coat at a time, leave to dry for 15 mins before doing the next coat
Keep going with the coats untill theyre as dark as you want :thumb:
