Was watching the le mans last week and seemed to take a fancy to there lights!
Just wondering weather yellow headlight tint is legal/illegal? Ino a lot of people use it for there fogs but have rarely seen anyone use it on there headlights...
Hoping someone can let me know

I think it looks unreal! Just thought I'd be something different especially with HIDs becoming illegal!

The law/Mot hand book within the UK states that front primary lighting must produce a White or Yellow light. There is no documentation about the colour of the actual lens.

How won't I be able to see where I'm going?, it'd be the people coming towards me that would have the problems

I think it's something that would get boring really quickly tbh. I don't even like putting my fog lights on Need to find a clear set!

id do it if it was reversible. but it would probably draw unwanted attention towards me. dont fancy getting a warning because the copper doesnt actually know the law. but warns you just incase :S
