Sidelights - What To Do?

[dawolf]

I have a black MR2 and want to do something with my sidelights/toblerones coz the standard orange looks a bit crap. I'm thinking of either lightly tinting the lights to go with the dark paint or I could go for the contrasting clear sidelights but that might look silly with orange toblerones. What do you think people?

Smoke em!!

Bibbs had them done on his previous nose.. and it looked the dogs!.. :)

Why not replace the Toblerone style repeaters with the UK style strips available from MR T?

Not cheap but IMO does look a lot better than using black tinting spray a'la Vauxhall Nova stylee.

Quite the opposite if I remember correctly, I think there is a lot of hoo haa about this though. A grey area.

all years of mr2 need the tobes or uk spec, its just that some mot stations overlook this

Thanks for comments. So in theory would it pass the MOT with smoked/tinted lights? I guess not.

Infact the tobes are illegal .. hence no after market clear ones.

It's all about the viewing angles. But most MOT places don't check.

I had tinted fronts and tobes, then went criystal corners, but still have the tinted tobes.
