Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have some LED reverse lights on the back of my 90 and have been toying with the idea of upgrading to a pair of 15watt ones ever since I almost demolished a gate post turning in a field gateway. I know this has been covered before but I couldn't find the bit of info I need. Am I right in thinking that the only restriction in reverse lights where fitted is the limit of two lights and the combined wattage of the lights? I don't want to upgrade and then find out on MOT day the lights cause the 90 to fail its medical,so to speak! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 reverse lights are not a MOT testable item, road vehicle lighting regs 1989 state the legal requirements on number/position/wattage & colour. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1796/schedule/14/made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacr2man Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 As posted above RVLR gife the full s/p , but basically max 24 watts each max of two , either with auto switching thru gear selection or with manual selection with warning light . Any thing else becomes rear work light which has to be manually switched with warning light and can be upto same candlpower as supernova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
