Slightly OT, but i like the black tail lights. Been contemplating doing this for a while, leaving the clear bits clear. Don't think it'd look as good on the facelift though.

isnt it illegal over here to tint your rear lights, and as far as mods go i dont think ill be doing much more at the min my insurance wanted another £200 just to fit a volvo body kit to my t5 and i didnt get round to asking about tinted windows

I think as long as they don't stop too much light from coming through it's ok. Plus, on the facelift models you don't need to worry about the reflector.

I notified my insurer, Swiftcover, that I had tinted all the windows behind the B pillar and there was no increase in premium.

Cheers
