Rich Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Where can I get some from as I can't find it on the Halfords website and don't really want to use ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Pretty sure Halfords do it, though their website is pants Motorworld definitely do it Storefinder (probably worth a call 1st) & usually the smaller parts shops will as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks Janey I thought halfords did it but couldn't find it on the site. The nearest motorworld to me is Middlesex so I'll try some of the smaller shops if halfords don't have it instore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 Decided not to use spray tint and I've ordered some of this -www.flyeyeskit.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Not got them fitted yet, that's for the morning but here's a few photos. When up close you can see the holes in the film but from about a metre or so away you can't. It looks better than standard ones though.

scorps Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Intresting......i've got the Lexus style lights on the truck and im not a lover of them,how easy was it to wrap the lights in the tints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_r Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 interesting.... would these look silly on the headlights ?i was going to get some stone protectors for my lights and tint them as 'headlight shades' but this might be a good cheaper alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Intresting......i've got the Lexus style lights on the truck and im not a lover of them,how easy was it to wrap the lights in the tints? I was going to do the lexus lights but as I still have the standard ones I've done those and will sell the others on. The mondeo lights are quite curvy, needed a little bit of patience, heat also helps to make it workable. What the videos on the site - here interesting.... would these look silly on the headlights ?i was going to get some stone protectors for my lights and tint them as 'headlight shades' but this might be a good cheaper alternative I'm not sure about on the headlights, I'm not doing those but some I've seen look ok but that's just a photo, not sure in the flesh.

Tango Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Intresting......i've got the Lexus style lights on the truck and im not a lover of them,how easy was it to wrap the lights in the tints? It's pretty stretchy, especially if you warm it up with a hairdryer. I have tried it on the Lexus, but thought it looked crap tbh, just looks like the lens has been wrapped in fishnet. Lucky it comes off even easier than it goes on. I've got some left if you want to give it a try Pete? A member on OJC says it's the same stuff they print advertising on and put on the back windows of taxis and buses etc. From a distance you cannot see the holes, but it allows a reasonably clear vision out. Heres a couple of pics of the one headlight I covered and the taillight with a couple of scrap pieces to see how it would deal with the red lenses. The colour is dark grey.

Rich Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I went for black, maybe that's why the holes are more noticeable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Are they legal for MOT purposes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Are they legal for MOT purposes? Suppose to be, they even include the section from the mot rules on lights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 On that recommendation i think i'll give it a miss, if its not good enough for the ISF its not going on the truck It looked OK on ER's Mondy rear light clusters, but the clear lens on the headlights show the pattern too much. I know they say it doesn't 'much', but it must restrict the the light output. No point in having gas discharge headlights and then covering them up.

I'm still not 100% sure when looking close up but from a metre or so away it looks ok and much better than leaving them standard. The lights shine the same brightness as well, which is a bonus as a tint spray would've dimmed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorps Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Now on yours it looks o.k wether its because its in a photo i cant tell, must be because they are darker to start with where as mine are clear lenses i really should of looked at yours today Rich.

Yeah that probably would've helped you decide. Can't you get standard lights over here to replace them or buy some from America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
