Having a discussion with a lass who has tinted her headlamps. I know the legal lamp wattage is 55/60 but can't find the info.

Still a mystery to me why anybody would want to tint something as important as headlmaps but nevermind

Tinted the glass or round the edge of the reflector?
Round the reflector is legal, my mates certainly past the mot many times with them!

Oranoco

Nope completely tinted lense

Martyn

This is my mates, doesnt affect the brightness atall

How silly, It's like when someone uses an old restrictive scorpion on an rs turbo when they trying to GET power out their car

Oranoco

Glad mines a non restrictive new Scorpion then eh

Construction and use regs require that front headlamps only emit white or yellow light.

Yes I know HID look blue, but they still only emit white light.
