Nice, but you wont pass an MOT like that :(

Quote from AA website http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/ca ... -2012.html, but plenty of info online:

"Products on the lens or light source that obviously reduce the light's intensity or change its colour will become a reason for failure – applies to front/rear position lamps, registration plate lamps, stop lamps, rear fog and direction indicators"

Was just about to cut and paste that same quote.

With an all black Freda I had thought about tinting the rear lights but decided against it in light of the new test.

The new rules are effective 1/1/12 as advisories, in force as fails from April 2012, final date tbc. So, you could in theory get away with it if the MOT is in the next 9 days. That's the rules, how well they are enforced is another matter.... :?
