Morning all,

hopefully a simple question.

Do I need a reverse light for SVA / MOT?

Can it be operated by a manual switch if nessercary?

Many thanks

No, not a requirement for either test.

BUT - if you do fit one, it must be either automatic (i.e. from a gearbox switch) or have a tell-tale light on the dash if switched manually.

...or so I believe!

You don't need one. If you have a manual one it must have a tell tale on the dash. There is a limit on the bulb size as well, something like 21 watts.

21 Watts is correct, agree the above

As above, I didn't bother with any for two reasons. Couldn't decide where to put it, and the rear of car is about 2 feet from your head, so your rear side lights should provide enough illumination.
