help please for the sva do the tell tale warning lamps have to have the correct symbols on them i.e brake levels/handbake, indicators, main beam e.t.c or are correctly coloured lights and labels ok

Brake Level / Handbrake has to be labelled on the light itself and I'm pretty sure Hazard one does as well.

Basically YES

I have used the Bright6 module, very neat, easy to wire up, and can bee seen even in daylight (needed for SVA as well).

Bit pricey, but worth it.
Bright 6 Website
You can get a dimming kit for £1.99 as well.. if you dont want it bright at night.

If you have a light with the correct symbol 'built-in', e.g. the Bright6 module, then you don't need a label. In fact, I think the brake warning light is the only one that needs to have the correct symbol on it. ((!))

The hazard warning switch also needs the correct symbol - the double white triangle, usually on red (I think!)

My only problem wit the bright6 is that there is no fog light warning lamp on it.
Made my own out of an LED set i got from ebay.

I've just got coloured lights. I was going to put a label under the brake warning light. Is that not good enough?
Cheers Jon

You need one or the other on the light itself

We have SVA correct dash lights with brake marking on for £4 each (we supply most of the "7" companies with these).

Hazard warning light generally built into the switch, but we have the single lights marked for hazard warning, again for £4 (and many other symbols).
