Default Removing number plate light?

As per the title really. Just toying around with shortening my snow plow, but can't figure out how to get the number plate light off? Can't seem to find any bolts or screws securing it.

So to get at them I guess I have to remove the entire seat unit?

Nope. There's a bolt for the reflector but nothing for the number plate light

Have locked my damn keys in the shed so can't get at the bike at the moment (until I can find the spare key )

It looks totally standard back there. Very peculiar...

Just remember that when you've finished shortening things you still need a reflector and number plate light for your MoT. If you've removed them both you'll have to rig up replacements.

I dont think you need a number plate light for the MOT although the police might take a closer look
