Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Rather uselessly, my PD-T400s are on my turbo bike at the moment.:laugh:

The problem of legality does bother me a bit. When riding in the dark I'm always well lit and have plenty of reflectives but theres a nagging concern that my technically illegal status due to having no pedal reflectors may be a problem. Obviously I'm not all that concerned or I'd move the pedals off the turbo.

I've also just found these PD-T8000 they are also flat/SPD combined

https://bike.shimano.com/products/components/pdp.P-PD-T8000.html

Ive also seen clip on reflectors for SPDs, and blanking plates that have reflectors and clip in to the SPDs on one side. Never tried them as they look a bit flimsy. Pedals lead a hard life.

Check out the Shimano PD-EH500. They're a popular choice SPD on one side, flat with reflectors on the other. They're less clunky than many others but still functional. Wellgo also makes similar models that might be worth a look.
I have the EH500 pedals on my bike and they don't have reflectors.

Retroreflective toe covers like the old PlanetX ones I have, socks (if visible) and anything else on your legs works well for visibility in the dark, as they are often moving.

It's a bit "boil in the bag" unless it's subzero, but the completely retroreflective Boardman gillet/jacket lights you up like an Xmas tree!

Also got some retroreflective PlanetX lobster gloves.

I thought the Boardman brand used to do some pedals that were flats on one side and SPD on the other, but I can't see any Boardman pedals on the Halfords site now.
