Red licence plate light law

I’ve been searching the forum for a while now but haven’t been able to find an answer for my question. sorry if someone’s already asked the exact same thing

Basically what is the law on having a red rear licence/number plate light ??
I’m asking this because i have a red spare led light to go in there but do not know the legality of it

I personally can see a problem because you are displaying a red light to the rear

can anyone shed any light on the laws surrounding this ??

I would think that this would be different country to country.

I have actually called the police (local law enforcement) about a question before (not 911) and asked anonymously. Most are very helpful. They would rather you be upfront than have to stop you about something.

You could also ask one if you saw them out and about. There again, most are relatively receptive as long as you aren't asking how to dispose of a dead body or anything.

Seems like you'd fail your MOT if it weren't legal, just go by a shop that does that and ask...

Or you can try Googling 'British motoring laws' and see if you can find an answer.

Oh, and BEEF in the UK during an emergency they don't dial 911, they dial 999!

Cheers! M2
