Rite, planning to get new rear lights in the next couple of days. I hav a black saxo, and so i want some lights that have like black surrounds, or any that just arent too shiny cos i want them to blend in with the back of the car. This kinda eliminates any that are silver :S Anyone have any recomendations?

LOL spare time activity??? I think doing any tint tints to the lights are illegal but not 100% sure. Also you are meant to leave the reflector showing.

lol. Not that hard mate although I didn't do mine but I was going to. Get them off ebay thats where I got mine although I brought one set and they were jet back you could not see the lights. Give it a go you may find it easy. You can always get it off if you mess it up.

tinting your lights is perfectly legal to a degree. as long as the actual light emitted is still the same they should be fine, and the reflectors must be visible still. if you're worried get some stronger bulbs aswell!!
i have had mine on for ages now and have never been pulled for them. police round this area started doing "routine" spot checks most nights aswell, had my car checked 3 times and they never mentioned my lights at all.
