If memory serves, the hand brake light is just a test to show the bulb for low fluid is working. Might be totally wrong though :-)

You need a method to test the low brake fluid light, most common way of doing that is wiring it up to come on when the handbrake is on.

If memory serves, the hand brake SWITCH etc etc ( Does not need 2 dash lights.) (( I.m sure that's what you meant nico, ))

I don't have a hand-brake switch, but do have a "on for 5secs when ignition turned on" dongle which passed the IVA. OK a bit of an over-engineered solution but this is where my skills lie; it was easier drop in a dongle into the wiring as opposed to engineer a mechanical solution.
