   It looks like lots of hassle, why not buy a set of tinted ones? It's one wingnut to take them out and replace them... also it would look crap. =)

   There are tinted headlights on the for sale section most of the time. Get to 100 posts and you can buy them! Or pm jack123 as he is selling some.

   Are they tinted using that film? Do they still let out decent light, just out of interest

   No, anything that could be considered to obscure or inhibit or decolour your vehicle lights would be considered not permitted in the eyes of the law.
   
   Edit, and yes you can even get pulled for dirty lights

   not the film listed no, but its fly eye tint when it comes through it looks like netting lil holes all over the tint so it lets all the light through from the lamp. havent noticed any difference in the light from normal to tinted. need to go down mot station next week some time so will ask them to do a beam pattern check while i;m there to check if they are mot'able

   If you wanna do this, don't use that stuff, use Lamin-x. Much better quality.
