I need a numberplate light as my bike has had the snow plough removed. But would this numberplate light be too bright???
And has anyone else seen anyother lights that look cool and are legal?


Cheers

I've removed the snowplough from mine & fitted a hammicad instead, but I've still got the original rear indicators & numberplate light - what happened to yours :?:

i have only just bought the bike and it was like this when i got it. do you have a ling to where you got your hammicad unit, and does that have a light?

Cheers

www.hamicad.co.uk they don't come with lights, but the original one fits.

I'm inclined to think that number plate light would be fine. Should look ok if the wires can be hidden properly.

i think i will order one of them LED light thingys then, for the sake of £10+£1.40p&p if it does not fit, i will put it in the boot of my car (new puntos dont have a light in the boot as standard)


cheers

on my bike there is a small white plug under the seat, i have been told this is to charge the batterie, is this true, or do you think it will be from the numberplate light when it was removed???

What does the plug look like?
I'm inclined to think it was from the light if it looks a bit like the standard connectors under the seat.

I spoke to the MOT tester at my local dealer today about this.

Apparantly, whilst there is a requirement for the plate to be illuminated, it does not have to be a 'white' light. Therefore, if it is lit by your rear red light then that will be legal!

nice one matt! :D The plate is lit by the rear (red) lights, so that should do

Thanks

p.s. the plug is female if i remember correctly, and about 5mm in size and white

If the plug under your (pillion?) seat look something like this (the white sqaure bit) http://www.accumate.co.uk/fl020004.jpg

It is prolly a connector to charge you battery. It's handy thing to have because you have to remove at least four bolts to get at the battery (is access improved on the new shape :? )

Anyway, it beats messing about with crocodile clips...
