As long as you have reflectors visible, and when lit up, they're visible from a certain distance, the tint doesn't matter.

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

You have to have red reflectors visable, if you have an R32 bumper then the other lights can be nearly black as long as the light shows out bright enough

Sweet. Thanks guys,

Am I being dumb but are the reflectors the two strips at the bottom of the light, almost textured? Or are they the inner red circle, because if the reflectors are what I'm thinking they're black on the above aren't they? or am I being a noob lol

My rear lights are as dark as those with r32 bumper and I have no problems and I don't have led lights just normal ones

They are for left hand drive so you will need to swap the reversing-light wire to the connector with the fog-light wire and visa-versa.
