Go Outdoors sell the light board and I haven't seen any plates for sale next them so I would assume that they can be bought separately.

If the trailer has lights already on it then you won't need a lighting board, Thats as long as the lights work on it.

You can buy registration plates from most Motor accessories shop but will need to take your V5 for your car in now. New laws. This you mount to trailer

If you need a new lighting board (this you can also purchase from same store but remember to get one with lead long enough to plug into back of car from rear of trailer) you will also need to purchase a registration plate. This you mount on to the lighting board

Oh and remember you want a yellow registraion plate for the rear not white one  

Hope this helps and i understood what you were asking

I thought to get a plate from a motor accessories shop you need a V5 (Log Book) and a new style photo licence or passport for ID ?

dont forget if your car doesent have built into its electrics a audible indicator warning device ,it beeps annoyingly when your board directon indicators are fine.
i have to buy the device for my old car as it isnt fitted as standard but its probably easier just to make one

Halfords do number plates for not too much money.
