Re: Weird Headlights
Got a specific time that shows the headlights well?
From what I saw it looked as though it'd had the inserts painted black.

Is that illegal, i imagine it would stop the inserts reflecting properly

Re: Weird Headlights
Probably, but that's mostly based on the assumption that just about anything you modify is illegal.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Most of the ones I have seen (inlcuding the ones Mazda did themselves for the SE) have only painted the front parts of the inner housing, not the mirrored reflector part.
As for legal, probably not, but if you do a neat job it's unlikely anybody will notice.
