car going in for MOT tomorrow and i have clear rear lights.
basically do clear rears still have reflectors? if not do reflectors have to be red as i have some blue ones i could just stick on.
also for an MOT do you need a reversing light? i think its just by bulb which has gone ill check tomorrow.
cheers.

No need for reversing lights, and yes you need to have red rear reflectors.

The "e-marked" clear rears just come with stick on reflectors to make them "legal".

you might find yourself needing a better rear foglight, just stick the old lenses on if you're parranoid about it.

reflectors have to be red at the back.

havnt got the old ones anymore lol o0o0ps should have kept them.
might be stupid but just wondering, would reflectors off pushbikes be sufficient?

Yep, they'll do fine. Stick them on with a bit of double sided tape.

As for the foglamp, paint the bulb with some red paint :D
