I emailed Alan Coller (the rep) for clarification on whether we could remove all rear lighting, except for rain & stop lights
Alan replied that the proposed regs have to be cleared by the MSA first.
All rear lights should remain at this stage.
With regard to indicator flash rates, in 7 seasons of racing, I have never been required by the scroots to show them working.
If so, the flash rate on my car would be as quick as I could flick the switch back & forth because I have no flasher module fitted

Reply from 750MC:
Indicators will not be part of the scrutineering checks, neither will hazard lights.
If headlights are fitted, they must be fully functional. (I had asked whether side/dipped/main all needed to be present, or was dipped sufficient as
that is all I'd ever use in the rain).
The rain light must be independent from the side lights. (MOT requirement is that Fog light cannot be operated independant of side lights, so this is
different).
Only the items mentioned can be removed – the others must remain in situ. (I asked whether we could remove horn - although I have actually used it to
attract a marshal's attention to someone boiling over in front of me on a restart grid)
Shaun.

So could you remove the originally fitted air dams (5,3/4 headlights) and fit something less aerodynamically challenging? Not quite the LED rings
that Mr Cassidy presented in 2010, but projector lights may aleiviate some of the concerns of driving in the rain.

No idea, but mine are off but on a waterproof quick connector so can be added back on in less than 5 mins.

I don't think so. It's either headlights as per regs (5.75" ) or removed.

I still think this is a bad rule removing the head lights..... And dangerous in wet conditions...

Looking at it from another point of view, lights dont really matter. In a fair few championships you dont require any lights.... We run fine with only
a rainlight.

Maybe, but is your racing as close as locost.....
I dooubt it.
Rain light fine for you coming up to the rear of someone, but how do I know someone getting close or diving up the inside when there lots of spray?
