Hazard switch???
Does the hazard switch have to be red and illuminate, or are the flashing indicator tell-tales all you need?
Will a normal metal toggle switch do, clearly labeled next to it?
Cheers,

The warning light has to be red and illuminated and have the triangle symbol on it. You can use an ordinary switch for it though.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

So you have to have a red warning "tell tale".
Cool.

Pat, I was told at Derby SVA that if both turn indicators on the dash flashed, no other telltale was necessary. I had fitted one and they said it
didn't need it!

Sorry Pat.
Ah! I only have the one  How many have you got Pat? Looks like it doesn't need to be red or marked either then, I'll have to read the
new rules.

I've not got one at all.
Wanted to use a toggle switch like all the other switches which will be in my "toggle switch bank" (ooo errr) and just get the indicator
tell tales to flash.
Can you check with the bible and get back to us?

Pat...

OEM vehicles often just have the two indicator tell tales flashing iirc. I know some also have a red flashing switch as well. id guess easiest way
would be to have toggle as planned and bright 6 module.

Wiring up this switch is really confusing me.

You just need a double pole double throw switch (as you say the one with 6 terminals on the back)
wire the power from the flasher unit to the 2 centre terminals, then one of the outer terminals to one side of the indicators circuit and the
diagonally opposite one to the other side.
Telltale wise (not re. sva though, dunno re. that) you have the choice of 1 or 2 telltales for the indicators. If you are using bulbs (rather than
LED's) you can just put the telltale bulb across the two switch outputs. The bulb then just earths to the indicators on the opposite side of the
car, but passes so little current that the bulbs don't light up. (took me ages to work that wiring trick out when I first came across it on an
Opel manta!)
One indicator telltale obviously means the bulb won't light when you power both sets of indicators though, so you'll need a separate
hazard telltale definitely then.

The Bright6 doesn't have a Hazard warning light.
So is it ok if both indicators flash instead?

The draft SVA says it is.
It's changed since I did mine same as the rear hazard switching rule. If enough big manufacturers do something it seems to be acceptable for the
rest of us.
