Rewe 8 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 Crikey Tooey - you must have either excellent night vision or better bulbs than me. I'd describe the lights in my GTV as just about adequate! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2spark 6 Report post Posted October 24, 2011 The tints didn't affect the light any. No light to begin with Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted October 26, 2011 I quite like the look but surely that has to block/refract some of the light? Which is why they are illegal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northernbstard 84 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 MOT Lighting laws & regulations 2012 As of 1st January 2012. The Department for transports agent regarding MOT laws (VOSPA) has made changes to UK lighting regulations... "An obligatory headlamp : inoperative,excessively damaged or deteriorated or has a product on the lens or light source so that the light output is well below that required to illuminate the road ahead" is a reason for rejection. 1.2 A pair of headlights must both "emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity" Must emit a steady colour of "either white or yellow" Light must be visible "from a reasonable". Masks or converter kits... A headlamp or rear tail lamp altered in this way is "not a reason for MOT rejection" So long as "light outputs are not adversely reduced"- "emits the appropriate correct colours" and "is securely attached" Quote So long as "flyeyeskit film does not affect light colour and does not adversely reduce output,It is perfectly acceptable on all counts" Shaun Martin VOSA-MOT Technical Standards Engineer. Proof of the pudding... FlyEyesKit changes the 'Appearance' of your vehicles lights without adversely affecting/ reducing light intensity, brightness beam colour or beam patterns.

jhc 28 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 the current rules say pretty much the same thing. They just class any film as obscuring the light and call it a fail if it obscures more than 50% of the rear reflector or substantially reduces light output. fly eyes kits do neither.
