It goes back to the french in WW2 - they had to have different coloured headlights to differentiate them from the Nazis. From my findings, its legal as long as your beams are correct, and your car is of the right age - i can't remember though how old that was, I suspect similar age to the black/white plates. Either way talking from experience it dramatically affects how well you can see at night so i'd give it a miss if I were you. |

Ok, well this is a option that I may do with the film, as my car is 71' so will be running the black and silver plates and will be that era. Will need to do more reserch though, may go and have a word with my MOT station, just to get the understanding of the legal rights |

The yellow headlight covers are beam deflecters for driving on the right in some EU countries (Eg France).

I painted my spot lights with glass paint. Look up the thread it'll tell you everything I did. Looks good but can't comment on driving at night or legality BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races! |
