Rear number plate light
Hi, I have just bought a 2003 blobeye and have noticed that the number plate light has been on all night and won't go out no matter what I try. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing it and a solution?

Brilliant! At least it wasn't an electrical problem.

when you park and there is insufficient lighting from the local street lighting, if any.

Useful to those ******* I guess but to the average driver completely pointless!

Aren't they chiefly intended for when you park up, facing oncoming traffic - i.e. on the 'wrong' side of the road - after dusk?
