   Pics not working for me either.
   
   Im going to take a random guess that you're wanting to paint the inserts of the headlights and not just spray the lens with tint spray
   
   It is legal providing that you just paint the silver surround piece and not the reflector bit in the middle.

    I wouldnt have thought that itll pass an MOT or be legal (more importantly safe for your own safety) by tint spraying the lens itself. The light emitted would be severely restricted.

    If done properly.
    The problem is finding a professional who can do it.
