Appreciated IT
![]() In reagrds to tinted windows, mine are only apx 15% darker than stock. And since all 5 windows is the same it would look kinda strange removing the tint on the front ![]() MOT requiere the windows to function, so no go on having them all the way down. I Even asked if i could remove the glass.. They actually had no regulation stating that a door requires a glass window, but they would not let it pass if i did ![]() I'm well aware of why it is illegal, and I might have to bite the apple and remove the tint sooner or later, but right now i prefer later... ![]() On pickup this afternoon they also informed that the headlights did not pass, as the dreaded plastic "cover" inside the BI-Xenons was to miscoloured... Anyone ever managed to get theirs clear again? I now have 7 days until my car will loose the plates if stopped by the police and other enjoyable organizations checking cars along the roads ![]()

Hi HP
I'm afraid the UK and NO rules are not the same, even if our MOT rules comes from the EU. Checklist cotains 150 checkpoints and in regards to the headlights, it's enough for the control (freak) person to look at the yellow-aged plastic lens/cover and say this is not the way it should look. Have removed them now in order to work some magic with all sorts of stuff found in my garag e ![]()

don't attack the silver painted bit with anything stronger than water - it'll come off. The inner lens should clean up a bit but to be honest they don't look bad
Have a look at my bi-xenon refurb thread if you haven't spotted it ![]()

MOT passed after removing the tint and polishing the ldl out of the plastic covers. Got a bit better but still a bit yellow-ish.
Today it also came clear that these old ladies absolutely has a soul.. Was driving to work and chatted with my self if should sell this beauty since the MOT is passed and the whole car is in good shape. 500m further down the road, the EPC light came on..... Never ever seen this before.. ![]() Managed to "limp" it to work and will do a scan tonight. ![]()
