Illuminated switches?

Hi guys,

Quick one for you, do switches (e.g. Headlights, horn, hazard etc) have to light up for IVA purposes.
In other words, as we would expect clocks to light up so you can see them in the dark?

Cheers

No is the short answer.

as he said, short answer is no the switches don't have to light up, however, various functions do need 'tell-tails'
usually the instrument lighting for 'side lights',
must have an indicator for 'main beam' and fog, and
something for indicators & hazards- (unless you can see the front ones from the driving position!)
