Looking through the great pics posted today from JAPFEST

I noticed that some of the 5th Gens had darker looking headlights.
Have you guys taken your lights apart and painted the inside or are they tinted on the outside
I was looking thinking of maybe film tinting mine with a light tint , but i'm worried about it being legal and if it might reduce the beam quality
Cheers peops

youre quickest way is to go to flyeyeskit.co.uk and get some blue stuff

totally legal passes mot and doesn't reduce light

There are loads of guides on here.
Just pop them in the oven open them up. Take the chrome ring out and spray that black. DONE. Thats how i did mine.

I wrapped my surrounds in carbon fibre, something different

I've bought some SPI vision to try, supposed to be better than flyeye.
I'll let you know if it looks chavvy/bum droppings when I've put it on.

£15 on eBay Sam. 40cm x 1.25m with a fitting kit.
Might need to buy one lot for each headlight on the 5g though......
Cheaper than flyeye and supposed to be a lot better, as it uses black adhesive rather than the white on the flyeye.

Flyeye is printed vinyl. SPI is the propper vinyl backed layered stuff.
