You need red reflectors on the car - either on the car itself eg R32 or on the lights (as per most cars). Your rear lights can be blacked out but you must have red reflectors on the car somewhere visible (cannot recall precise law).

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Think it depends on how much light the tint (if i'm correct?) lets through?  I could be wrong so please correct me if I am.  :wink:

Also forgot about the reflectors *thanks stealthwolf :)

The red bit at the bottom is the reflector isn't it.

You'd probably need some uprated bulbs (brighter) to shine through the tint?
