   if they go too dark they can become illegal, and you can buy tint spray off ebay

    Thats how it looks with tinting spray, but it isn't legal. Just buy another pair for MOT time, cost bout £20. All depends what coppers you have around your area, some ignore it completly and some dont.

    They are legal full black tint if you have a reflector stuck on the back like pic above has.
