    Yeah just seen it on a google search scour the reflectors, they are non tinted but small. The reflectors are on the bottom of the bumper

    Yeah I’ll probably go with the place Biko recommended. Are you aware of cars passing with the rear lights tinted once the reflectors aren’t?

    Yes. Just don’t go too nuts and make sure reverse light still lights up white and not purple and you’ll be grand.

    These lads got back to me, €60-70 to do it, seems fairly reasonable.
