Just make sure you use 21 watt bulbs in the indicators - those often come with 10 watt or less.

I used those lights - or ones like them - from Mac#1 and they passed SVA. They didn't have E markings, but I did check the bulbs to check they
were OK.

Put the horn push in the exempt area beside the steering wheel and it will be easier to reach and not tested for radius.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Need to watch the radius of the screw holes on those lights. I'm sure I've read of people who've had to fill them with a little
clear silicone as the tester got sniffy.
23W bulbs should be fine.
In theory (not suggesting you test this) you don't need a horn for SVA as it's not a tested item. If you haven't got a horn you
won't need a horn push.
