Side light indication
I currently have a toggle switch (in radius exception area) for the lights but i dont have any indication for the side lights. Do you think it would
be ok to use one of the toggle switches with an led on it for the indication? I dont really fancy cutting into my dash now that it is all mounted and
finished. Would be much easier to just change the switch.
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

What do you mean with side lights ?
Is this the same as "parking lights" ?
Because parking lights are optional and tell-tale for them are also optional.

Do your instruments have a backlight that switches on/off? IIRC backlights are enough for the sidelight telltale requirement.

The backlight comes on with the ignition.
Breaker - I think they are the same as parking lights but im sure the manual says they are compulsory and you need an indication.

Strange, my IVA manual says (chapter 30):
"Optional on Motor Vehicles not exceeding 6m in length and 2m in width
Prohibited on other vehicles"
and
"A closed circuit tell-tail for the parking lamps is optional. However, if a tell tail is fitted it must not be possible to confuse it with the
tell-tale for the front and rear position lamps"
