$154 ticket in Quebec:
Ticket in Quebec city.....
Ontario highway traffic act:
Attachment that affects lamps prohibited
(7) No person shall drive upon a highway a motor vehicle if either or both of the lamps that are required on the front of the vehicle by subsections (1), (2) and (3),
(a) are coated or covered with a coloured material; or
(b) have been modified by the attachment to the lamps or the motor vehicle of any device that reduces the effective area of the lenses or the intensity of the beam of the lamps. 2002, c. 18, Sched. P, s. 19 (1).

The reason I said that is tinting lights in the UK is not illegal. Unless things have changed.
MOT rules and regulations state:
1.2: Headlights
A pair of headlights must: emit light of substantially the same colour and intensity. emit a steady colour of either white or yellow. be visible from a reasonable distance.
I didn't realise the OP was in Canada, I keep forgetting this isn't a UK forum.

The bottom part of the R's headlights are black instead of Chrome. It gives them a semi tinted / darker appearance than the stock lights.
Did Jaguar offer an OEM tinted lens for the S-type? I seem to remember that they did in the last years of the XK8. Some guys on that section have talked about them.
Take care,
George
