Headlight masks? was created by Lambert
Hi all I have spotted these headlight covers on another Jimny that make it look all frowny and grumpy, are they legal in the UK?

Like these www.ebay.co.uk/i/192685976369?chn=ps&ul_...ac1e7d729183fffad435

In all my years of reading max power and seeing people fitting 'bad boy' bonnet's I've never heard of any legal issues with this sort of thing. The only issue would be if they obscured the light pattern, which from looking at them I don't imagine they would, but that should be pretty obvious as soon as you fit them.

How about a mock up using a strip of gaffer tape along the top corner of the light to achieve the same effect?

That's what I was thinking. Or getting some vinyl ones cut as a practice.

I have them on J999MNY and again, passed MOTs no problem. Dont affect the light pattern at all. make it look a bit like an SJ or new Jimny in the dark (rounds the headlight shape).

Stick on with the supplied double sided tape and seem to hold there well, even given the bushes ive been driving through lately :laugh:

I believe they can be painted and would probably look better in the same colour as the rest of the body.
