Is it legal to tint the headlights? I was thinking of doing the rears in blue, so though I could do front's aswell.
If I did would I need stronger bulbs?

no. spray tint is ilegal
spraying the front is illegal but spraying the rear lights isnt as long as you leave the reflectors or add reflectors come MOT time
and i used the e-tech spray to tint my back lights black and its pretty good!

What about Brin's lights. you can't see them but they still reflect
Yeah they barely reflect, just don't tint the reflector, unless you do want someone to crash into your car while its parked.

Well I only park on my driveway so you gotta be pretty stupid to crash into it there.
Only a woman could manage it
I just don't fancy being pulled (by the cops at least
)

Tinting the rear lights could also be illegal if its deamed that the light is not visible "enough", only because it will pass an MOT with a uncovered reflector doesn't mean the police can't fine you / stop you driving the car untill its removed.
Yeah thats true but ive not had any problems with the cops so far and mines not completely black theres still a tint of red in them so i presume mine are still legal lol

Yeah, I might do what you've done and cover the reflectors for a few coats then spray the last 1 or 2 coats on the reflectors aswell so they are tinted but not much
