Jamie5414 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Hi, Is it a MOT Requirement to have a functioning reverse light? If Yes, Does it have to be a WHITE light? CheersJamie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LukeSR Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Google search throws up that it is required and others say it isn't.. Just google your thread name Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 When I had my car MOT'd last year they didn't even check my reverse lights, so either it doesn't matter or they forgot. Best see what others say just incase. ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richdog Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Not an mot requirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Have you been through a MOT with the light missing/not there and it passed Richdog? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 You do not need a reverse light. 100%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Sweet Time to baffle sunday drivers when they wonder why i'm getting closer with no white light :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Not part of the test at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 If its there it has to work. If it's not there then it can't be tested so no issue.Same with your spare wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob_bower Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Not required not even tested. I've not had one for 5 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 Awesome, Would it be best to not connect the rear reverse light at all then? As a pose to have my current one in which is red (Because of my new lights, the bulb is white) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevonGT Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I've only got one working on mine, the other is my fog light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 get a red bulb and double the lights up jdm style. thats what most us UK spec boys have done. top and bottom on both sides are side lights tops are also brake lights get a twin filament holder and bulb for the drivers side bottom and make that your foglight as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dangeestarlet Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That's good to know as I've done a conversion and have no reverse lights lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snow Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I had this argument with a female copper in a service station she was all high and mighty, saying without a light how will people know I'm reversing, I pointed out they would see my car moving but backwards, reverse light is just to help you at night time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
