Does anybody know how to get the front head lights yellow like this? Is this a film or a complete cover? Here is a link.

It's a film. It's used in racing when there are multiple classes of cars competing. The cars run with their headlights on. Some classes (usually the slower classes) run with the headlight film. That way when a car is coming up to pass on the track, the driver of the car that's being overtaken knows if it's a really fast car in another class, or someone in his own class he needs to battle for position with.

Thanks D for all your input---I am sure I am not the only one to benefit from your response. And thanks, too, to everyone who posts topics and replies on this website. I am a real Mini fan and it is great to have this kind of venue to share information with all you other Mini enthusiasts.

Thanks for showing interest. Many race teams, including ALMS GT & GTS teams, Ferrari World Challenge, SCCA Pro and Club racers have found our yellow films to be an excellent asset. Changing the optics to meet regulations and protecting their lights from pitting or impact damage. You will be delightfully suprised at the effect and quality of this product. More information can be found by visiting supporting vendor http://www.RSpeed.net
