Hi when fitting a reversing light must it be switched off the gearbox or can I run a dash switch the tunnel is about 3mm away so I don't have room to connect properly.Also am I ok to cable tie to the loom as long as it's in split conduit. Thanks
There is no SVA requirement to fit reversing lights, (And why would you want to if not controlled by the gearbox). BUT should you wish to fit
switch opperated Rev Lghts, then you MUST fit a "tell tale" devise, to let you know ten miles down the road, that you forgot to turn them

Wouldn't it be an MOT failure point though?
reverse lights are not needed for an m.o.t so i would not put any on , i havent.

I think the MOT rule is that lights, if fitted, must work. I am fairly certain that bikes and maybe cars as well don't have to have lights at all
for the MOT. I do know of a number of bikers who only go out in daylight and quite legally they are not fitted with lights.

As far as I know, there's no legal requirement for lights. As said though, if you have them they must work. Or at least show the MOT tester/plod how they work, if done via some obscure switch. I intend having a 'hidden' ignition switch, so may have to show the MOT man next year.

The same applies if you are out after dark so having no lights must be quite restricting!!
