Dashboard warning lights

Hi Fellow Petrolheads!
I'm fitting the following warning lights:
Fog (red),
turn signal (2 x green),
high beam (blue),
brake fluid level warning (red),
handbrake (orange)
and I already have a hazard warning on the Sierra column.
Have I missed anything?
Cheers
Jon

What about the warning for doors / tailgate not closed correctly???

Your list sounds about right. Worth checking the manual tho to be sure.

Make sure all the warning lights have the correct symbols on them, as i belive it is an SVA requirement. Hence why the bright6 module is so handy.

You may also want to include a battery/alternator warning light as well.

Is it ok to have the symbols/words under the lights for instance dyno tape (which will fall off after the test?)

It is NOT an SVA requirement on anything other than the brake warning light!

Handbrake and fluid level can be combined to satisfy the test from seat regulation although I don't remember there having to be a warning light for the handbrake.
