Yes true, if it is in and not working in a vehicle prior to the above date, you can remove it and the switch

You have a choice of what you can do

My thoughts too.

As above, post 1st April 1980 it must have one and must work.

Spacemud:
Mine (1971) went through last month with none on the back, two unwired spots on the front and two unwired spots on the back (reversing lights?). Only comment I got was "you need a new cork seal on the petrol cap mate". Was I very lucky, or is it just rear fogs then?!  :?

Just rear fog lamps.  Front ones aren't required for testing, same goes for reversing lamps.  You only need a pair of headlights and sidelights for the front.  extra driving/fog lamp requirements would depend on what they are actully classed as (which is often identifiable by the E marking if marked), though not checked by the MOT they should still meet standards but that'd be checked by a traffic cop if they still exist.

I guess you could get round having technicly ilegal lights by stating they are not for road use like white rear worklamp or spot lamps.  You'd likely only get done for them if you drove past a copper with them all on.  Wouldn't have thought any copper would be too bothered by the site of a landy fitted with football stadium lights being used on the road turning them off in favour of dipped beams at the site of an oncomming vehicle.
