SVA requirements? Reverse Light....
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!

No
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.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

21 Watts is correct, agree the above
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

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.
