Rear reflectors are an MOT requirement, most people wont' notice though.

if you're really paranoid then get a couple of stick on reflectors and mount them on your rear bumper somewhere. Personally I wouldn't worry. It's not an endorsable offense, you'd just get an MOT rectification notice.

All smoked rear lights dont have them. Irmscher and MHW ones included.

Really would be suprised if anyone got pulled for it though. Some MOT garages will require them tho, so just stick some reflectors on prior to MOT.

I have had non E Marked clear rear lights that have no reflectors on my Corsa for 4 years and never had the problems with the police. Do have to stick on the reflectors to pass MOT though, otherwise I don't have them.
