Tights on lights

firstly ill let you all know im new to driving and fiat forum, so you'll have to bear with me, i heard of a friend that stretching tights is a cheap way of 'blacking out' the exterior lights. Is this legal !?!?

Re: Tights on lights

blacking out exterior lights and adversely affecting their performance is never legal as far as i know. Proper tinted lights (OEM etc) have colour filters in them so that the lights still shine through with the same brightness as if they wern't tinted. But if you still really want to tint your lights (i'm guessing you're talking about the rears) i would use the tail light tinting spray, spray in thin coats to your desired tint level, leave to dry and then clear laquer over it, i did this on my cinq and have had no problems at all! But i'd definately use the spray over the tights thing any day, bit more expensive, but much better results! (i used black Savage tail light tinting spray)

And welcome to here!!
