   i might spray my back lights black with the light spray but a mate of mine has said the you cant go over any reflective parts otherwise its a MOT fail has anyone done it and passed a MOT or cant you spray the reflective parts (and im not sure what you cant spray)

   The light still needs to visible and reflectors need to reflect light

   As long as you dont go crazy and start spraying with gloss black it should be fine.

   i just sprayed the top half of mine as the bottom half is reflective, and i used gloss black paint from halfords and just sprayed straight on lol and its fine everything still shines through, but i think if you use the light tinting spray the reflective part should still reflect, and if you have another set of standard lights just put them on when it comes to MOT
