Question 6 required candidates to state the different obligatory and non-obligatory lights found in a motor vehicle. It also require candidates to identify and classify from the wiring diagram the label parts into different systems. As reported by Chief Examiner, majority of the candidates that attempted question 6 responded very well to the first part. On the other, the second part was poorly attempted.
