tinted headlights?

[jim199416v]

What options are legal ie plastidip if you can.... laminex ....and what else can I use ??

Try a tint spray then ask an MOT station to check that you still get a good beam pattern.

Plasti-dip will cover the light not just tint it.

You need tinting vinyl, lamin-x is good or flyeyes is cheaper and easier to apply.

There are cheaper versions of both on eBay

Ebay stuff is pretty good. flyeyes are ok but you'll need some bright bulbs to get good light through them as i found out one night and couldnt see

Ah pikachu im glad you have mentioned fly eyes, I am thinking about getting black tint but do need stronger headlights. Are they 100% legal, last thing I want is to be pulled over for it lol

I've never been pulled for mine, had it fitted over 12 months

Pureply aesthetic Steve.

I've heard good things about laminx. How hard is it to split the headlamp unit and "murder" the internals (paint the non-reflective areas black) as this gives the best results in my opinion?

Easy enough to split using a heat gun. I Idid it on my old fabia and also on my type r. Sand down the chrome to prep it for spraying.

As for fly eyes it does reduce light output a fair whack, I wouldn't use it again .

Where the insurers happy to accept it as a mod?

[Johnno92]

I've used flyeyes on mine, didn't notice any huge difference in beam strength. And passed an MOT with them no problems..

Have some "light" reading:

I had fly eyes on my bike and have lamin x on my car. I haven't noticed a drop in output in my car but on my bike I noticed it a fair bit!

[Soot1e]

Hmmmm, tint the headlights then put in stronger bulbs  :think:

[Rob-vrs21]

I did my octavia with lamin x as doesnt have them stupid holes like fly eyes so doesnt look tacky, its also adds a bit of protection to the like and very easy to fit
