Default Custom dashes

I'm looking into getting a custom dash done, but have to specify what "idiot lights" I want put in, what do you NEED by law/MOT for a Saff Cossie?

Any help/suggestions/etc from anyone who's already done it, or looked into it would be great

Ideally I want to do the least amount of wiring poss

All I wanted to know is if there were any additional ones you wanted - such as WI - as in ones that are different from the norm . Obviously I know what the standard ones are LOL.
