Default Number plate light colours

Is there any restriction of the colour of a number plate light?


I guess red isn't allowed but can I use blue? I need a plate light and plan to put in sime LED's but I'm struggling to get white ones.

Will blue be acceptable (to the police and MOT people)?

Cheers,

Neil

Coloured lights are only allowed by emergency services . Strictly speaking it`s White for the front , Amber for indication , Red for brake and White for plate lights . Anything outside of that is a potential nicking .

LOL .... I have a Scottoiler Touring HCR mounted behind my plate and the light from the bulb barely gives the plate enough light , not got a pull for it yet , you can bet your bottom Dollar that if I put a coloured bulb in there the North wales Police would have me surrounded on the floor with batons drawn and my arms behind me trussed like a chicken

You get LED number plate lights on ebay. I bought one of these but the 3 LED's didn't spread the light enough to light the plate so I got this one which is perfect. It's just stuck on with velcro
