MOT - Tinted rear lights

[Stokie]

Tinted my rear lights yesterday & ive got my MOT coming up soon, just a quick Question...as the mk4 Ibiza's dont have reflectors in the light cluster themselves im assuming it will pass?? as the rear reflectors are on the lower part off the bumber (which i have not tinted) also lights are not really reduced & are still perfectly clear

Pics below -

Gone from this -

Lights out whilst being sprayed - (what a pain in the arse to get out)

Tinted & back on the car -

Close up -

As you can see the lights are still clear enough even in daylight -

Night time & reflectors still on show & not tinted - (with flash on camera, just the same as a cars headlight)

Can't see the pictures at the moment as I'm at work but I bought some tinted lights for my old car and was told that!

- Lights must still be visible at night
- Lights must still appear the correct colour
- Reflectors can't be sprayed

Don't know if its true or not (I'm sure someone on here will be able to confirm), but that's what I was told anyway! Like I said, can't see your pictures but the facelift reatr bumpers have the reflectors lower down anyway (Where as they were part of the light cluster on my old car).

Thanks mate, only problem i had was getting the metal clips of the rear off the lights :-( the smallest hole ever to get your hand through :-( but nothing defeats me lol
