Do side lights or heads have to wired in to work with the ignition off for SVA?

I have just wired in the hazards this way as I know this is a requirement.

The way I read it, only the sides have to opperate with the ignition off

I think they need to work when the ignition is off so you can leave the lights on by accident and flatten the battery, also you will need to be able to put the side lights on if you park it at night and need to make others aware of it's position.
I think the first point is just a bonus from having to do the second

maybe worth having a separate switch for parking lights, then you cant leave the sides on by accident as only the other switch is wired around the ignition...

Thanks y'all will put a seperate fused connection to the side light switch.

The easy way is to have the relay feed for dip/main ccts via the ignition, ignition off lights off, side lights will still work regardless.

sidelights/parking lights need to work regardless of ignition being on for SVA.
