   if you do it yourself with tinting spray it wont pass mot, if you fit smoked jewels they will pass mot. has something to do with the reflections i believe

   Some Smoked Jewels don't come with reflectors in them - Which ARE needed for the MOT test. Therefore you need to put stick on reflectors on your car's bumper as well.

   Personally i bought mine off ebay however turned out they wern't as dark as i wanted them, there's many methods of doing it there is the heating in an oven method which i wouldn't do or there's sprays spacifically for the job. Get the hayne modifiying guide for saxo's book, there it shows you how to do them plus most modifications to your car
