    Very illegal! Unless it's e-marked then it's illegal and won't pass an MOT.

    Having said that nobody would notice a really light tint - but then what's the point?

    Your best bet could be to spray the backing behind the bulbs as opposed to the headlight glass - that way the lights will still be bright.

    Watch out for reflectors though

    Can the corsa ones be split easily? i'm guessing they can as they put them angel rings inside.

    I did mine

    I bought a set of corsa B smoked headlamps off ebay, they looked pukka and were only about 80 quid buy-it-now

    it is not illegal if you open then up and paint the non reflective surfaces of the light, just like that paint pic above you paint the non reflective surfaces around the outside
