    What are the required dummy light needs on a aftermarket dashboard for MOT

    doing my dashboard on my mk2, as i run a AIM Dash i need to have dash lights ie to let me know something is on.
    I have currently:

    Left Indicator
    Right Indicator
    Low Beam
    High Beam


    is there any others needed for MOT?

    Don't think you actually need the low beam, but I like to have one

    for mot you only need indicator ( which could be audible, i.e loud relay) and full beam

    Rear fogs need a warning light if the car is fitted with them.

    That could be on the switch as well

    Does the hazard warning need a distinct illumination to the indicators? I found it easier to wire it that way anyway.

    yes hazard does need a tell tale, but it doesn't need to be separate to that of the indicators,

    cars registered before 1st April 1986 dont require hazards, although if fitted they must work
