I'm going to be doing the LED headlight upgrade and I'm wanting to do something with the amber headlight reflectors. either to change them or tinting them. Can anyone give me any ideas about replacing them or tinting them as I don't want to just paint them black the same as the headlight internals are going to be.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

at least take that orange strip out, and leave as is.

I changed mine when i done the headlight conversion, there are some pics in my gallery made them myself

What did you make them with, can only see a front pic of your headlight 2006 4.2 Supercharged Buckingham blue

i bought a fluorescent light diffuser from electrical wholesalers £10 and cut some new ones it was easy, if you do a search on this you will see mine. DRL Halo's / Interior Lights

had mine changed last night, to be honest i removed the reflective strip and glossed blacked them, but the car is white and black so it works well, another idea would be to use a silver reflective strip

baxc - that looks good, nice work

jammin - I never thought about reflective strip, ive actually got rolls of the stuff for our recovery vehicles so I will have a look at that option

Thanks for the ideas guys  2006 4.2 Supercharged Buckingham blue

Is there any legal need for the amber reflective strip?

No and the MOT manual states for the purpose of MOT -

This inspection applies to the two obligatory rear reflectors that are required by Regulation to be fitted.

Only the 2 x rear reflectors come into the MOT. 2006 4.2 Supercharged Buckingham blue

My D3 passed its MOT without any rear reflectors, even after I pointed them out to the tester, and asked if the lights ~I had replaced them with were legal. He said they were

Good result there Mike

p.s. I would have passed yours as well  2006 4.2 Supercharged Buckingham blue

I wrapped my reflectors with black fly eye and used black plastidip & glossifier on my bezels so I could keep the stock reflector part and to be honest can't even see the orange reflectors.
