mull1986 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi all, I have seen some black headlights from Germany and was wondering what I have to do to them to make them road legal for a 94 j-spec in the uk. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 You can tint them, but only to a certain extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 What about changing the lenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Be aware of the headlights pointing towards the wrong side of the road blinding other road users, and if the lenses are too dark they might not meet UK's legislation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Are these lights you want to buy from Germany? Or ones you've seen and want to imitate? If the prior, they would need new lenses, so you would have to split the lights. A lot of work when you could just buy RHD lights. If the latter, see my original post.

I think he just means facelift headlights, could be wrong though. Edited March 25, 2013 by Suprab1 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull1986 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Where would I find the "legislation" to how dark they can be pal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I think he just means face lift headlights, could be wrong though. That's what I thought when I read the post, there just standard facelift lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull1986 Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thanks for all your comments, I think I'll pass on buying them as I would have to change the lens as they would be blinding other drivers, then I would have to make the new ones black as well because that's the look I'm after. So I'll think of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
