I'm desperate for some as I have sold the corsa under the condition it has an MOT, it will pass except it has no number plate light on the rear, i've rung halfords, I can't think of anywhere that will sell them (I have the number plate light recess smoothed and a smooth boot) where can I buy these 'bolt lights' but NOT off ebay, I need them now!!!! Or I'll miss out on the Supra I am supposed to be buying later 
oh and even if it looks stupid or whatever, this does not matter, I only need something as a temporary solution to pass the MOT as the new owner will fix the plates on permanently when she gets it (was just going to cable tie them to the rear chrome bars)

I misunderstood you, what do you mean bolt lights? The ones that go in the MFD and dash?

I wanted something now ideally, don't want to order something, wait for it to arrive etc.
What about a motorworld store?!

No to light up my rear number plate. whats MFD? You can get these bolts that screw through the plates to hold them on to the car and also have a light in them, had them on a previous car got them from gsmotorsport but again, I don't want to order anything, I need a quick fix!!

They don't really light your numberplates up, they just look pretty toss. Why don't you just buy a numberplate light bulb?

what do you mean buy a bulb? Where would I put it? Like I said, I had the recess smoothed out on the rear bumper and the boot is smoothed so i need something else!

Oh right, i see what you are saying, even though i wouldn't have thought those bolt lights are legal anyway? Not sure what you could use.

yea the bolt lights are fine, they shine a light only onto the plate but Halfords don't sell them!! Ahh I may just give up it may be quicker to ring around for a dodgy MOT garage lol

hmm not as easy as I thought, i've rang 7 or 8 local places, all say ''nope its going to fail on the number plate lights then isn't it'' what about if I ask them not to give me the mot cert till I get it sorted but still mot it?! Im sure there used to be loads of dodgy mot places around!
