Stop lights, indicators and hazard lights
are the correct type and colour
do not interfere with each other in operation
driver's tell-tale works with respect to indicators, or there is an audible warning system.

any lens broken or cracked is only an mot failure if it results in a sharp projection or if it is insecure to the extent it would fall off, also it fails if it results in the colour emitted differing from the one it is supposed to . ie if it was a red or orange lens and the crack causes it to then emitt white.
