[QUOTE="Clem, post: 633452, member: 15"] The regulation mentioned above has almost no scope that needs to be considered - Road Vehicles Lighting Regs 1989 deals with Reversing Lights which it defines as " a lamp used to illuminate the road to the rear of a vehicle for the purpose of reversing and to warn other road users that the vehicle is reversing or about to". It is an Optional lamp and therefore not covered by Reg 23 which deals with the maintainance in good and working order. Schedule 14 list the characteristics: Number - Not more than two Position - no requirement Size of illuminated area - no requirement Colour - white Wattage: no requirement if displaying an approved mark otherwise one lamp not to exceed 24 watts Tel-tale - Only required if light is not automatically activated by selection of reverse gear.
