MOT light switch question
I've just been getting the lights to work on my Fury (MOT on Wednesday.....) , and it seems the column switch is dead (Mk 2 escort)
The quick fix I have come up with is a toggle switch on the dash for low/high beam - completely separate from the main switch assembly - will this be
OK for MOT ?
It only switches the headlights on , not side/tail lights .
Its cuz I is blond , innit

My Fury used to have no stalks and just a row of switches on the dash so I don't see why not.

there is a bridge wire that takes power from light/wiper switch to indicator/dip switch,you got that on?
when i did MOT,s it didnt matter about switches as long as the lights came on when you wanted them to.
who cares who wins

All the wires are there , but nothing happens when the switch is moved - sidelights are working , as is flash , but I've checked the switch
(armed with a meter and wiring diagram) and it dont work 
Anybody got a working Mk2 escort light switch they dont need ?

Can't see anything in here that would cause it to be counted as a "fail"

Should be fine that way. I've done it lots of times.
