I think technically they are illegal, or perhaps it's illegal to sell them as standard equipment on a cycle. I don't think that you'd get charged for it, or that it would be successfully used against you in court (if you had a proper rear light, that is).
I think the pedal reflector law only applies to cycles built after 1985 or something like that, so if you've got an old frame then it doesn't matter.
