can i wire the side lights all on 1 fuse or do they have to be wire and fused left and right or maybe front and back.

as far as i know, you're allowed to put the on 1 fuse (same with dipped and full beam) but makes sense to wire them left and right seperately. if you blow a fuse you don't want to lose the lot

more fuses = more weight

Hmm...Good point. You wouldn't want to overburden that engine!

Yes, you can use one fuse but seperate left and right circuits is more usual.

I see your point, but if you consider the complexity of the wiring diagram and the weight gained from fuses, wiring etc... -0.0001 Hp losses

Side lights, single fuse. Dipped and main beam seperate fuses left and right, giving 5 required.
Edit : Not the law, but makes a lot of sense.

I have sides on one fuse and H/L on one fuse (hadn't thought about losing them so may rewire yet)
