Re: parking flashlights
If you get a copy of the Car Builder Solutions Catalog ( its free post to your address) there are various types of Hazard Warning Switches shown and also wire diagrams for the Hazzard installations as well as many other helping tips & drawings on how to do all sorts of jobs..and they supply a big range of parts not nessasarily for your Mini
Car Builder Catalog is something worthwhile to look at even if you dont buy anything from them.
I would never use those choc box electrical crimps as supplied in that MS Hazzard install kit ..these type crimps just cut into your existing wires they are just horrible & destroy what was a good original wire.. better to get double bullet sockets & replace the original single bullet sockets & do a proper connection job..

Re: parking flashlights
you could look at a Haynes manual wiring diagram for a post mid 70s Mini with a harzard circuit.

Yeah, I can’t understand why those Scotch connection things are included in the kit.Polarsilver wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 8:01 pmI would never use those choc box electrical crimps as supplied in that MS Hazzard install kit ..these type crimps just cut into your existing wires they are just horrible & destroy what was a good original wire.. better to get double bullet sockets & replace the original single bullet sockets & do a proper connection job..![]()
I would definitely use double bullets.

Lucas sell a hazard switch still for cars that were not fitted with them originally.
You can still find original ones on ebay from time to time.
The following link has a wiring diagram which you could use to make your own system.
