Hi All
We have a project car in the build which will be mostly geared towards the track but will be lvv'd so it can be driven to events etc. The car has already completed it's MSNZ checks.
The car is having an almost complete re-wire and my only question is the relocation of the indicator controls, in particular the automatic switch off.
I am looking to relocate the indicators to horizontally mounted two position switch, and also a separate switch for hazards. I have looked through the lighting standard on this website and also the lighting section of the VIRM on the NZTA website and cannot see anything attaining to having the lights switch off automatically only:
Will my proposed solution be suitable?

2.5(11) The light emitted from a direction-indicator fitted to a low volume
vehicle must operate at a fixed frequency of:
(a) not less than 60 flashes per minute; and
(b) not more than 120 flashes per minute.
2.5(12) A direction-indicator system fitted to a low volume vehicle must
incorporate, either visually or audibly, when in operation:
(a) a tell-tale to inform the driver that the direction-indicator
lamps are in operation; and
(b) a tell-tale to inform the driver of the failure of one or more
bulbs within the direction-indicator system.
2.5(13) A direction-indicator system fitted to a low volume vehicle must:
(a) flash each direction-indicator within the system in phase
with each other; and
(b) switch all direction-indicator lamps on either side ofthe
vehicle on and off together with a single control.
Will my proposed solution be suitable?
