Default Taping headlights to change look?



As in tape up sections of the headlights? To give off a more aggressive look.

You could buy clear headlight protectors (looks like the yellow SV above has them) and tape them up if you want to still do it. At least then you could detach them to avoid any trouble at MOT time then just reattach once passed.
