Can put a light tint on the back lights as long as you can still see the light shining through and as long as you mask up the reflectors.

just spoke to the guys in the MOT bay
indicators, side repeaters and rear lights can be as dark as you like so long as the correct colour is clearly visible when they are on.
Headlights can only be yellow/amber or clear, zero tolerance on tinting them black

Sayin that about the reflectors, you could tint the whole light reflector and all and position a couple of more subtle stick on ones somewhere?
With the headlights, chances are that the police will either be driving past you and not see them or be in front of you and probably not notice. Just remember to have a get out when it comes to MOT time.
