similar to mine, but i had two for the indicators and none for dipped beams.
Your selection for perminant lives is ok, not all are needed (horn for instance) but theres no problem with doing it either way.
I *think* that if your warning lights have symbols on them, they dont need illuminating. Speedo will though.
I cant remember how i made my hazards work without the ignition, but its all sierra switchgear on mine, so i assume it sorted itself out.

Permanent live is only needed for hazards and sidelights, the other two are optional. You don't need a warning light for the sidelights or dip
as the clocks light up when they are on. The warning light for the handbrake is usually in the circuit for the level warning test light which has to
have the correct marking on the light (!) sort of thing.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

handbrake light is in same curcuit a brake fluid level light
i am using sierra column and sierra loom so indicators and hazards should already be sorted out as i haven't altered any of the wiring

had to take a photo of it in the end
what i could do is change the 2 blues to green for indicators and the 1 green to blue for main beam
