Default "To Tint" or "Not to Tint"... Photoshopers!

I've purchased a black tint set for my 2008 (in an effort to replace the clear style Lexus lights)

They've been sat in the boot for 3 weeks now...as I'm undescided if I want to put them on or not.

Legally I'm not 100% sure, the reflectors have to be left alone I think (which narrows the tint area considerably) and is there a maximum tint alowable?

Plus... are black tints on a black car "too much", can someone photoshop the tints onto my car maybe?

Any comments welcome.

Some pics of the tint's I've bought:





and my motor...

I dont get it...it was only last week everyone thought the new STI's were ugly...now if Subaru had released the car with these lights from Factory..would that have changed people opinions on the lights?

I thinki they look good...but would i buy this car...erm no...it'l have to be an Evo for me...
