[bennyboy200]

HI,

My registration lights wont work!! changed the bulbs but still nothing. has anyone had this problem? is it common fault?

any idea how i can fix it?

had the same issue on my D8 when I bought it. Cleaned the contacts of the bulb holders and tensioned the pins of them, contacts and worked for me. It could be the connection to the plate harness, originates/connects from the passenger side rear light cluster.

Oh look, there's another one of those NFP things (No Further Provision?), there's more and more of those for both D8 & 9 every time I look

you could put a switch over the numberplate light, perhaps it would stop speed cameras seeing it

Sadly in the UK you have to have reflective plates and the cameras flash, bad combo here however they are all forward facing cameras and my front plate (apart from being an Uk plated car) is made of non reflective plastic and permanently covered in mud

I lost my old one in a water pit off roading and was buggered if i was going in for it so the wife had one made up for me at her work place (a printers) on plain white plastic board, hell i even carry a spare now in the boot

i wonder if i got a ticket they would bother sending it to my old address in the uk? i reckon not, its just a shame the disco doesnt go fast enough to get tickets

if you could put an electro opaque filter over the plates in speed camera zones would it work at stopping cameras seeing the cars reg
