Rear lamps

FlyEyesKit is at its best when tinting rear lamps. Unlike some other tinting methods, FlyEyesKit allows continued full function of the rear reflectors at night time. However, some safety precautions must be taken into consideration.

Very light colours such as white and yellow are not recommended for rear lights or indicators, as bright daylight can obscure the appearance of light coming from behind the film. This effect is not noticable with other colours, and our darker kits provide an unobstructed view of brakes and indicators in any external light conditions. If in doubt, contact us via email or use our contact form.

Headlamps

*Some headlamps have a clear protective lacquer. These are unsuitable for applying any kind of tinting film as the adhesive used may damage the lacquer when you remove the film. This problem is not unique to FlyEyesKit, and you should check for a protective layer of varnish before modding your light fixtures.

With some high-intensity H1 light bulbs, this product may cause excessive heat build-up under sustained high beam use. This could result in melting of the kit, though there is no fire risk due to the self-extinguishing nature of the material. Typically if your high-beam bulb has a silvered tip or a cowling in front of it, it will be fine. If you are fitting this product to headlights, check your light fixture before you order. We offer a full refund to anybody who has bought our kit and found it unsuitable for their lamps. For further information on this and any other issue, please contact us using our contact form or emailing info@flyeyeskit.co.uk.

MOT rules and regulations

1.2: Headlights

A pair of headlights must:

• emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity.
• emit a steady colour of either white or yellow.
• be visible from a reasonable distance.

1.3: Brake lights

• A brake light must emit a steady red light.
• At least 50% of the lamp must be visible from the rear
• Light must be visible from a reasonable distance

1.4: Reflectors

At least 50% of the reflecting surface must be visible from a reasonable distance.

1.5: Indicators

• Every indicator must emit amber light.
• At least 50% of the lamp must be visible.
• Light must be visible from a reasonable distance.

Masks, or converter kits.

A headlamp or rear tail lamp altered in this way is not a reason for MOT rejection. So long as light outputs are not adversely reduced, it emits the appropriate correct colour and the mask is securely attached.
