Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations:
If a motor vehicle is fitted with lights then it must have:
Two front lights, two rear lights, two red reflectors (rear)
Plus, a matched pair of headlamps, either dipping or permanently set not to dazzle. Front sidelights can be separate or incorporated in the headlamps. It's ALL or nothing -
The requirements do not apply to a vehicle which either is not fitted with any system of lighting, or has ALL the lights covered or blanked off so they cannot be immediately used. Such use may only take place during "daylight" hours, providing visibility is not reduced (eg fog).
Stop lights, either two or (before 1971) one.
Indicators, flashing or semaphore need not be fitted but if they are they must operate correctly.
The Road Vehicles Registration & Licensing Regulations also require that the number plate is illuminated during the hours of darkness.
