Bottom line.

If your side lights dont work it will fail.

You might not use your seatbelt but there still has to be one fitted.

he doesnt want them on because the car he has doesnt have an alarm buzzer telling you the lights are still on. IIRC robbo left them on once and flattened the battery, and couldnt get into the car.

Correct!

They both work now but still pissed off... need them to not work temporarily but de-fusing them (as i found out thanks to the po-po) disables the rear lights!
