I'm liking that product tho. Only thing i'd say it the Lamin-X is a protector for the lens.

Hi have the same. Some Audi TT have a black tint look on front lights as stock. MOT wise had no probs, as the lights still show white when turned on.

MOT rules and regulations state:

1.2: Headlights

A pair of headlights must: emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity, emit a steady colour of either white or yellow and be visible from a reasonable distance.

1.3: Brake lights

A brake light must: emit a steady red light, at least 50% of the lamp must be visible from the rear and light must be visible from a reasonable distance

1.4: Reflectors

At least 50% of the reflecting surface must be visible from a reasonable distance.

1.5: Indicators

Every indicator must: emit amber light, have at least 50% of the lamp visible and light must be visible from a reasonable distance.

Masks, or converter kits.

A headlamp or rear tail lamp altered in this way is not a reason for MOT rejection. So long as light outputs are not adversely reduced, it emits the appropriate correct colour and the mask is securely attached.

Good find, i was going to say that i have been through MOT with the lens film on without an issue, but if i'm totally honest it does reduce the light.
