Where do you stand with joey modded headlights as well, they obviously give the illusion of tinted glass yet doesn't actually affect output?

Yes you can....the road traffic act does not say any thing about tinting lights. Mot law only states that your lights should emit an equal light and that the light colour should be white/ yellow

As long as you use light smoke you should be fine mot time.

Does that apply to front fogs too? mine are yellow tinted.

Can't see the fogs being an issue, many cars (especially french cars during the 90's) came standard with yellow fogs. I'm going to be doing mine soon!!
