Did you see the white clubman with red doors?

We got the plastic lucas covers for £10 at the auto jumble.

Or more likely like they use to have in france years ago because of the fog/smog issues...

Just to it the cheap way and paint the lenses :thumbsup:

Yellow headlights used to be a requirement in France years ago, so UK drivers crossing the channel used to fit Lucas yellow plastic beam converter covers or paint the lenses with yellow laquer from Halfords of fit yellow french bulbs. Try ebay for some old stock?

I've got yellow headlamps... :thumbsup: ... I use bulb covers

covering the lense with film is a bit tricky, just because of the curve of the lense.. so I'd have a go at some yellow glass paint!
