Every car has number plate lighting. License plate lighting ensures that the license plate of the car is legible in the dark and in bad weather conditions. It is required by law to have working number plate lights on the car. Number plate lighting should be as colourless as possible so that the colours of the license plate do not change. In addition, there are a number of other regulations regarding license plate lighting.
Number plate lights law
A frequently asked question is whether number plate lighting is required by law. The answer to that is that license plate lighting is absolutely mandatory. With a broken number plate light you run the risk of getting a fine. The license plate must still be legible at least 20 meters away on both the front and the rear of the car. The license plate light must be connected to the circuit network. The headlights and tail lights are also connected to this. As soon as you switch on the car's lights, the license plate light will also switch on automatically. Another important requirement of number plate lighting is that it does not blind other road users.
