it's no different to a production car

only a warning light required for the main beam & the fog light & the indicators flashing

Not quite, technically a type-approved car is required to have a tell-tale for side-lights too, but this can be omitted if the instrument panel lighting goes on and off with the side lights.

Apart from some busses and my old Landovers, they usually do

You do not need a warning light for side-lights.

You need for SVA... High beam warning and illumination of the speedo.
