hey,

has anybody on here used a fly eyes kit to tint there headlights and tail lights? are they as good as they seem? are they 100% legal? is it as easy to fit as it looks etc?

They specifically state on their website "for offroad use only" read into that what you like.

 

For the kit, it looks ok from a distance, but close up does not look so good.

ah I must of missed that part lol I want to tint my headlights and tail lights but have never done anything like that before, if you've got any suggestions it would be much appreciated

I agree. Met a member at Combe a few years ago with it on and is exactly as you say. 

 

I used to have subtle-tint Lamin-X (the lightest they do I believe) and is completely different close up to Fly-Eyes. No tiny holes as it is a wrap of sorts I guess?! 

 

Search in Ebay or google. Can't say if it has the same warning on the packet as the Fly-Eye stuff but it will diminish your light output so you may want to consider upgrading your bulbs if you do decide to put it on.  

 

 

I no longer have it on. 

Agreed. I had it on my Octavia and took it off after a couple of weeks. I wouldnt bother.

Just to add to this, genuine lamin x is air permeable,

meaning that if you do have a bubble or two in it after application, over time said bubble will

fix itself without having to compromise the water resistant integrity by sticking a pin in it to get rid of the bubble. 

I don't think the copy lamin x does this. Maybe that's why the real stuff is so expensive. 

might have to just have a look at this lamin x stuff then guys, cheers

Fly Eyes works just fine. Let's out plenty of light and I've never had trouble with the police over it.

Easy to fit due to all the holes - no need for water to be sprayed on the light and I barely had to use the application tool to smooth it out. 2 min job.
