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.

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 |

Is there any legal need for the amber reflective strip? |

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 |

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. |
