Does anyone out there know if you are aloud to drive with tinted headlight covers in the day while you dont use your lights ? but take them off at night ? and if so can i get a written document stating so ?

well seeming as u have an indicator that would be covered i would say no,i used to drive with mine on during day, but at night the lighting isnt exactly the best


pretty much any od to the lights of ur car that are not ADR approved is illegal

u can see them sure, but doesnt mean they arnt illegal

the clear tailights are illegal too as are alot of altezzas and u can see them as i said its a mod to the lights that is not ADR approved

prolly a fine or if they wanna be ****ty give u a defect or ujst tell u to take them off

my rears and side indiccators are tinted black (well rears arnt that noticable but side inidcators are black) and my cars been checked over a few times by cops never had an issue with those, these were all at night time too

i'm pretty sure the ADR's ban the use of tinted headlight covers for road use regardless of the tint level. Fitting them would be just asking for a defect

How strict are they about tinted tail lights. I think my TJ rears would look cool tinited a little.
Also, how do you tint them? :confused:

Nice.

I'll have to do a photoshop and look into it. :)

ok not the headlight covers, but I considered tinting my frosted lights but that might just be pushing my luck too far! Plus if there is no way to reverse it I doubt I will attempt it. A photochop like this might be as far as I go.

Hey this just reminded me of them glasses that turn into sunnies at day time and go normal at night.

That would be awsome.
