   hmm not sure, as it would be tampering with e-marked lights, plus you would be painting over the reflective chrome, so less light would be emitted...

   i'm not sure, because front fogs aren't a necessity on all cars, so it's probably not a MOT fail...

   definately look better though but you can notice the lack of light with smoked lights, so it might be an idea to get higher wattage bulbs.

   as long as you don't get any water or condensation in the lights you should be fine
   
   there are two reflective parts and you should only spray the outer part
