It's illegal and should not have passed its last MoT.  Just don't pass a
bored HM Fuzz patrol with them switched on - it's more than adequate
excuse to pull you over and go through the book, including a breath
test.  Figure on about GBP40, three points, a 'present vehicle repaired
within five days' chit and possibly even invalidation of your MoT.  And
that's if they don't find anything else. I know of one case (illegally
low front foglights) where the police notified the DoT and the MoT
testing station got a written warning.

The MoT station we use (Crossroads Garage, Dunton Basset) would most
definitely have failed the car.  I know, because Kieth (the tester)
failed a 20V ur-quattro that had been converted to LHD by simply adding
the right fog light and not deleting the left one.

I would strongly suggest you at least take the bulb out.
