Though in reality, most cars on the road with tints have just tinted rears.

they also informed that the headlights did not pass, as the dreaded plastic "cover" inside the BI-Xenons was to miscoloured...
What specifically was the point of failure on that? They can object to the lights being different colours but I can't see how Xenons (unless really different) could be like that, or was it some other standard reason?
