Tail tidies!

What's the legality of having a light for your reg. plate on a tail tidy, mine was on the bike when I got it and hasn't got one and can't tell if some of the tail tidies in this thread have got lights on either?

its supposed to have a number plate light. But over time mine stopped working (probably due to not being cleaned and large amount of water from road). but luckily the rear light of the SV650 seems to do the trick so still pass's its MOT. you can buy them for £10. but £10 is enough for two beers, or 100 miles in fuel. so i didnt bother replacing it

Yeah I've seen this one below on eBay looks like it'll do the trick and is small enough to fit in the bit of space left between the light and number plate.

Like you say the rear light lights up the number plate so I just thought that was the reason for no number plate light.

Had a look under the pillion seat and the connector below (circled badly!) is the one I'm assuming is for number plate light as theres no other wires unused. Just can't see from the eBay listing in the post above whether the connectors will fit this one. Will it be easy to fettle if they don't or will I have to try and find the right connector to fit to the wires on the new light?

usually they come with bullet tip ends. i just cut the connector off and used two different connectors from my magic shed.

Actually just seen these, will still need a bit of fettling but if they fit I think they will look better then a little box just stuck on the plate!

Decided to go for a strip of LEDS that I'd seen, cost a whole £2.59 delivered, easy to fit (stuck on) and can be trimmed to desired size. Sorry to take the thread of course a little but could give people options with reg. plate lights for their tail tidies. Here's a pic, isn't that clear, maybe should have turned the flash off!
