want to go down the yellow tinted headlight/headlamp route?
Don't really want to buy new,ones so are there any lens/sprays available for this?
Just bought P700 lamps but fitted em and didn't like em replaced the originals so want to try something else.

Tint film Is your solution, done my foglights on 3 of our cars with it. Cheap stuff off ebay works fine! Much easier and controllable than spray.

Do you have to warm it up before you use it? So that it stret.ches round the curves

I love the look of p700's
I want some original ones for mine

I used film from eBay as said. Cost me about £3 and was done in 5 minutes

Clean the light
Put film on
Heat with hair dryer
Squeeze out air bubbles
Cut excess off
Re fit

Easy peezy

Also read that peeps are now just buying yellow H4 bulbs to reproduce the look of old 1970's European cars........
But will try the yellow film first.

Not European cars, just French ones from around 1940 until Euro legislation changed it.

In fact, the French were required to have yellow headlights by the Germans after France surrendered so that French vehicles could be easily identified if out after curfew.

Just a bit of history for you.  .
