Only obligatory warning lights for SVA are:

Brake fluid level
Rear fog light 'tell tale'
Indicators
Hazard lights (can use the same as indicators)

Thats i as far as i can see

SVA require:

Either 1 or 2 direction indicator (1 light flashes if either indicator is working, or 1 for each side)

Hazard warning (the triangle)

High beam

Rear fog.

Everything else is optional, although I would suggest:

Oil pressure
Ignition (battery)

And, if you have a bike engine, neutral.

i'm sure the colours also have rules

i wanted to use

Blue for high beam
green for indicators
red for oil, hazard

Neutral will then be displayed on my screen

have bec sow battery would useless // no taking/source/connection point i guess..

sow i untherstand well, the fog light (tell tale) can also be in the button??

Regards,

Tks

Manual says nothing about light colours. Why not download a copy and take a look? Its a nightmare to find anything specific! Most of what you want is in section 9 and 16

Only one that theres actually any specific regulations for is the low brake fluid light. The hazards warning light doesnt have to have the 2 triangles on, it can use the same telltales as the indicators.

You will also need a brake test switch wired to the fluid level warning circuit - I fitted a switch to the handbrake lever.


tks - 24/5/06 at 03:27 PM

sow in fact, the handbrake light isnīt obligatory??

thought it was the same on as the lfuid level..

The brake fluid level light is obligatory. Its usually tested by the handbrake in most production cars. The SVA requirement being that it must be able to be tested from the driving position. A push button on the dash is acceptable.


tks - 24/5/06 at 06:26 PM

any one good idea, how i can make the

symbols to be able to stick them near the led

See symbol sheet........


tks - 24/5/06 at 07:06 PM

hop i can pay with paypall or are they on ebay to??

also the brake fluid symbol i need is the
combination of both because its also the parking one,

on my tintop its just the ! sow it should be good.

Also i'm not gona fit an extra hazard light.

I'm just gonna connect the Led in the button to one sidelight sow it will dance to with the rythem of it.

Also the button will be dimmed when contact is on sow not only when lights are on.

(like in my tintop)

Tks

As far as I know the handbrake / Brake fluid warning light HAS to have the correct symbol on it, any old red light will not be sufficient.
