Sophiemasden Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 my indicators have been vinyl wraped in pink to match my badges and i want my headlights to match so would it be legal to vinyl wrap my headlights or am i best using a mesh vinyl so that the normal light colour still shine through ?

matt123roll Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Would have to be something on the same page as flyeye to be considered legal, you still may get tugged for them depends on the coppers round your endhttp://www.flyeyeskit.co.uk/shop/product.php?id_product=16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skezza Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I would say it's guaranteed to be illegal, but whether coppers are that bothered who knows. I'm pretty certain the rainbow bulbs fitted in my headlights are illegal (certainly questionnable), but I drove through the town centre the other day at night when it was full of coppers and even parked quite near to where all the Barry boys dump their Saxo shitters and I didn't have a problem.Most policeman have better things to do.

Skezza Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 No I think the Joey mod is one of the few legal headlight mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophiemasden Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ok I will try this do I just use a normal car spray ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Truthfully sophie, I think you could do with fixing your other problems first.If you do decide to do the Joey Mod you should follow this tutorial:http://www.vwforum.com/forums/f15/diy-joey-mod-mk4-gti-golf-48315/It's pretty concise. I don't think you have to prime it so just get stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinx61 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Flyeye say they are road legal but I think it would attract attention from the police. Up close some people complain it looks a bit cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophiemasden Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 If I spray my main lights pink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinx61 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 No flyeye. Some people don't like the way it looks up close but it is legal.Spraying is illegal and will reduce the light emitted through. Look at the pics as I don't think it looks that bad,https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=opera&hs=1zU&channel=suggest&biw=1262&bih=625&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=flyeye+car&oq=flyeye+&gs_l=img.1.0.0j0i10i24j0i24l2j0i10i24l4j0i24.4362.4362.0.6350.1.1.0.0.0.0.129.129.0j1.1.0....0...1c.1.25.img..0.1.129.-SK9DovNtSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 The Joey Mod is not illegal. Any mod that reduces the light emitted is pretty much illegal. The Joey Mod doesn't reduce the amount of light emitted, just reduces the spread of the light, which is not illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
