heartagram Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The beam pattern will be all wrong for the UK. Plus its about £5 to do it yourself. All you need is a heat gun and some paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 It's an easy DIY job, and you can pick your own colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loop on steelies Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 did my head lights following the how to guide on here, but how do you get indicators apart?oven didnt work for me or heat gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 People generally just tint the outside of the indicator units with tint spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzard Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I dont just want to tint the headlights, i need new ones anyway....i have 2 headlights but there is a snapped tab on each side, and for 100 pound for headlights and indicators including postage i thought was pretty cheap?

Gazzard Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 beam pattern will be wrong since germany drive on the other side of the road !MOT failure i think ahh right, if i did buy them, would they be a danger on the road to others?, because there smoked they shouldnt be as bright bright and i can tilt them down, and for the MOT just borrow my friends off his lupo for the day?its just where i look for a set of normal headlights its about £100, for smoked headlights and indicators for £100 including delivery is good i thoughtCheersDanny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobblers Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 The smokedness doesn't make them any dimmer - you'd really be dazzling other drivers with them, almost as if you had your full beam on all the time. It'll fail the MOT and be a bit of a danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
