If you want to tint them then you could look into covering them in a perforated vinyl covering called 'fly-eye' it's a black vinyl with loads of little holes in, which from a distance gives the appearance of a tinted light (and will still pass an MOT IIRC)

I would also recommend FlyEyes, and they do it in 6 shades of red too.

I was not sure about it at first (up close that is, it's always looked good from a distance) but it has grown on me now, and looks far better than without, from any distance. Also 100% legal, where some tint sprays are not, though depends how much you use of course! (I have black on black.)

Had 'red-outs' on my IS250 SE-L for the first three years of its life, then Lexus declared it an MOT failure. Fortunately they were just vinyl overlays so quickly peeled off to pass the test. My personal opinion after trying it is that the fly-eye mod is a bit 'Barry Boy', but others obviously disagree.

It's hard for mods not to look a bit Barry Boy when it's on an ISF! Most people keep them fairly stock! :lol;

Cheap and easy top remove, another plus!

Fairly stock, but no need to look like the other 187 in the UK..

I tried the Flyeyes on the IS250, and wouldn't think of putting it on the F.

Back on topic, I had the red-outs on the IS250 because I didn't like the amber indicators. but the 'F' has amber bulbs with clear lenses, and that I can live with.
