You can get a rattle can of tint spray from ebay for about £3 that will tint standard lights, much much cheaper and it is what I have done on my bike. Light is still plenty bright enough and passed a few MOT's fine.

Just clean the unit, spray it and bung in the over on about 50-60 degrees for 20 minutes.

If you don't like it/change your mind second hand standard rear lights are practically free, I think I have 3 or 4 spares sets which I doubt I have any hope of ever selling if I wanted to lol

Just noticed those are LED rearlights, might be an improvement over standard to be fair, although I've never had to change a rear bulb in 5 years of owning an NC23 I don't think lol

Pretty sure in the uk they are not allowed to be integrated, thats the only reason i haven't bought any yet. Was going to get some ages ago but saw someone saying there illegal and indicators have to be separate from the rear light

I am from Cyprus mate so no law down here that says you have to have separate indicators on your bike 8-)

My Ducati Paso 750 has "integral" indicators in the rear light ;)

Never been refused an MOT with it :grin:

I would have thought if it were "illegal" the tester would have said so :?

Em 8-)
