number plate light for MOT?

[yankeedoodle]

did a quick search but couldn't find a definitve answer.

Do I need one for the MOT?

If so can any recommend a small cheap one?

cheers

Yes you do need one. If you get a pass without one then the tester is not doing his job properly.

It's like a rear reflector - anything small as long as it's pointing on the plate will work. But i think it has to illuminate whenever you turn the main lights on. I got those cheap 3 quid led jobbies of ebay, directed downwards. Passed the MOT no problem. Motrax do an LED light for 9.99 i think

I fitted a light bolt this week. Very easy to do and nice and discreet.

It appears the bike has passed 10 years worth of MOT's without one

Mine passed with no number plate light last week no problem. I think it's a case if it's got one it must be working, if it ain't got one it'll pass anyway.

I'll find out shortly. Bounce is about to go for its first MoT with a numberplate fitted (it's last MoT was pre-registration) and there is no way the rear light illuminates the plate.

You dont need a numberplate light!

All u need is a numberplate, horn and rear reflector!

Another vote here for the light bolds. Fitted some last week and look nice even if I do say so myself

If its a daytime only MOT then you won't need one.
If its the full MOT then yes its needed, but most rear lights have them built into them and reflect down onto the plate.

Found the empty connector for the numberplate light as it had been disconnected due to having a new tail tidy and undertray. Bought a £6.99 version of the light bolt to try as the MOT is due in a month and not feeling too confident at the moment that it'll pass with flying colours.

did you also know that if it is broken or not there a copper can give you 3-6 points and up to £1000 fine

[repsolblade]

It's all or nothing simple as that.
If you put one light on you have to have them all.

Thats what Armstrongs of Westgate road Newcastle told me a fortnight ago.
I put a daytime MOT on my track bike.
