It's not scaremongering, but hey if you want to live in ignorance.

Wonder why Lamin-X don't sell their products in the UK anymore? :chin:

I don't live in ignorance, I live in Devon.

So that's a no it's not illegal then

While I do agree with maxi that you might be chancing your arm with it come MOT time I don't see anything conclusive in the legislation to say its illegal.

 

[Dev100]

So there's no actual legislation making it illegal then?

 

[Dev100]

That film is now illegal btw.

So this is not true then?

Read the links I posted, the other links posted are to documents which pre-date the amendments in 2012

So do you have something that is legislation that came in to force post 2012? As your articles are not fact, not UK government documents/articles.....

Sorry to labour the point here but I haven't seen any concrete evidence produced on this subject to say they are illegal

 

[306maxi]

I get what you're saying, but the AA don't tend to post this sort of thing for fun. The .gov sites are about as user unfriendly as you get.

If it were still legal to have on your headlights then lamin-x would still be selling it here. Hell I'd have loved some on my high beams as I love the look.

The .GOV links are up to date so either the amendments never passed in to law or they were adopted by EU law and not UK law.

The AA is a private company that gives its opinion on motoring matters/law in this country and nothing more, in fact on most of the really important matters regarding motoring in the UK they seem to be largely ignored by the government.

The AA is a public company and listed on the stock exchange. I mention this only to divert the thread even further and be more pedantic than anyone else.


I wonder if you can still run the yellow covering on your classic Peugeot 604TI if you live in France? Tragic if you can't.


p.s. I still have my 1979 Peugeot Gran Tourer bicycle - it still has the yellow lamp bulb. I'm sort of worried I might get busted for this and I'm just too pretty to survive in chokey.

That's kind of what I was I was trying to say, they aren't connected officially to any government body.

What the window tint man does to your car is irrelevant, its your responsibility once its back on a public road.

FWIW I think the yellow looks awesome with the blue

If I may offer conclusive evidence that yellow film on your headlamps is NOT illegal.

The current MOT manual does NOT present any Reason for Rejection regarding headlamps that relates to the application of any colour changing devices. The only stipulation regarding headlamp colour is that it much be substantially white OR yellow.

gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/429032/mot-inspection-manual-classes-3-4-5-7-vehicles.pdf

1.7 Headlamps - Section 5 - Reason for Rejection
(b) an obligatory headlamp shows a colour that is not substantially white or yellow


The 'harmonised' MOT EU Directive never got past consultancy stages and is not incorporated in the EU Law.

As for Lamin-X products, they are still available in the UK via distributors.
