warning colours

Are there specific colours required for fog and hazard warning lights for SVA?? Can I use the indicator warnings on the bike clocks for the hazard warning?

Ta!

Most hazard warning lights I've seen are red when associated with the hazard switch itself. However I believe that having the 2 indicator lamps (usually green) on the dash flashing in time with the hazards is enough - but don't quote me.

Most fog lamp warning lights I've seen on tin-tops have been amber. I don't think it matters as long as it's properly labelled, or has the correct symbol on it.

Yes, you can use the indicators as Hazard warning lights.

I think the only one that has to be colour coded and marked is the low fluid/hand brake warning lamp.

For FOG it's just a visual indication - I'm using a savage switch which lights up in blue....

Cool guys, thanks.

Regards the brake fluid/handbrake then I guess this has to be red?

Yes, and it also has to have the correct symbol on it - a bit like (!) - but slightly more complicated!
