rear lights

[scorpio00x]

I want to put my cycle on the back of my car but I do need to add a light board. Obviously I will need to use a number plate what I need to know is what lights do I need on the light board? All the boards i been looking at have tail tights, number plate lights, indicator lights and
stop lights is that all i need?

Cheers

Ideally you need to replicate everything obstructed by the bike on the back, not many (if any) marker boards have reversing lights, some may have fog lamps.

If your trailer board has triangular reflectors on it they should be removed to make it legal.

Stop / tail / indicators / number plate.... and as Hoipoloi says red rectangular / square reflectors (i told a traffic cop who was unaware of this this a few years ago on the A64 when i got pulled for a "check if your bike is properly secure as we have had a few fall off) he liked my overhang board too


I'd get some LED clusters (and load resistors) as the bulbs in lighting boards dont last 2 minutes with them flapping about....

Reversing lights do not need to be on there (and they do not form part of the MOT)

Even small trailers do not need a fog lamp... unless they are more than 1.3 m wide... but worth having...

I would buy this personally:

( i have the same clusters on my trailer) and my car is like the ford focus with the really low fog lamp..
