I got my window tints done at £25.00/window by some tinting experts. But the guy and his team do it privately and just cash in hand.

Liesta, take them off asap mate. If the police pull you, it's a £30 fine and you have to rip them off there and then.
As for regulations, Chris is correct.
Windscreen 20%, front windows 30% and rear unlimited. Alot of companies won't offer windscreen tinting anymore, I believe this is because Police were forever pulling cars over to test them.

Tom, I hate to tell you but just because packaging shows an E mark, it doesn't make them legal.
ALot of places in China make cheap crap, and want to make high profit, they fake the E mark.
CHeck the bulbs and see if they have an E mark or BS stamp on them, because if a car with Blue sidelights comes into my station, I'm going to fail it lol. E mark or not.
Hope that helps and prevents you a £60 fine.

I believe you have the exact same sidelights Ash, but thanks for the heads up. I think I'll get some white LEDs instead, when i change the headlights.
