Reverse light
makoto - 3/6/11 at 08:36 PM

All,

Is a reverse light a legal requirement on the car?.

Also my ignition and oil light does not seem to work anymore. The bulbs are both fine and they worked before when I initially wired them, now they stop. I looked everywhere but cannot seem to find the fault. Any insight would be appreciated

Thanks

No.

As said a reversing light isn't a legal requirement for an MOT and wasn't for SVA but don't know if one is needed for IVA due to any changes in regulations?

Yes it is mandatory to have a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2 reverse lights for the IVA.

Yes they are required. Look at section 20 of the IVA manual, Installation of lights.

Hi folks,

Thanks for the insight. I checked with the MOT tester and he confirmed that it is NOT a requirement.

Any takes on my second point?
