Guy Lowe Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I am in the process of fitting a new carbon dash and want to replace the standard rocker switches with toggle switches, however I am not sure about the legal/MOT issues of: A. Doing away with the brake fluid warning/test switch B. Using switches that do not illuminate when the sidelights are on. My car is on a Q plate and was first registered in 1995, can anyone advise me if either of the above would cause me a problem with getting an MOT? Thanks Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 A. Doing away with the brake fluid warning/test switch not a mot requirement so you can remove it B. Using switches that do not illuminate when the sidelights are on.also nothing to state your switches have to light up make sure you have a main beam light as you need this and indicator warning lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Day Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 I don't have an indicator warning light & haven't had any problems with the last few MOT's. It got removed & taped up under the dash when I wanted a "hole" for an oil pressure/temperature changeover switch. Could always replace if I was asked I suppose 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Lowe Posted April 10, 2004 Author Share Posted April 10, 2004 I think you have to have a (rear) fog light(s) on warning light, an indicator on warning light and a main beam on warning light. Adam, where did you get your MOT done? Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Mupferit Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I thought you did. Now come on Guy, how can you expect me to enjoy a little wind up if you go and change your colour scheme at the 11th hour. 😬 Are you going to the S of M on Wednesday 🤔 Aston might have your bits done by then with any luck.
