Im about to order my dash warning lights but want to know exactly which ones are a must for the SVA?

Brake failure/handbrake
Indicator repeater if you cannot physically see the indicators
Hazard warning light repeater
Rear fog light repeater.
main beam warning light
I think you can get away with a single indicator repeater and a switch light for the hazards and rear fog.
I think the rest are optional but you probably need ignition light to make the alternator charge and an oil pressure light to let you know you have
just blown up the engine
Depending on your driving style a light hooked up to a moisture detector in the passenger's seat may be useful to determine excessive
cornering/braking force and near misses

Main beam, Brake warning, Indicators, fog spring to mind.

The brake failure light is the only one that requires a marking (from my reading of the manual).
It also needs to be the currently correct one i.e. a circle containing an exclamation mark with brake shoe segments on either side. The light also
has to shine through it (i.e. not a label near the bulb.)

To follow on from this? Is it ok to use the indicator repeater as the hazard repeater?
Cheers

If I've read the SVA manual correctly, then yes.
This is exactly what I have done - although I do have a dash repeater for each side, so that its obvious when hazards are on as both repeaters flash
simultaneously.
I dunno if the same applies if you have only one dash repeater?

Here's what I fitted.
Oil pressure isn't required for SVA, but is a necessity IMHO.
The fog light lamp was replaced with an ignition warning lamp as I fitted a fog light switch with a built in symbol and lamp.
