Swedish term or phrase: symbollins
I know there is no such thing as "no context", but the context is unclear here.

The sentence refers to a "camera kit" for a truck. Not sure which camera it is. The sentence runs like this:

"When you order kit, part no. 000000000000000, you also have to order Symbol lens, Switch and Wires."

I suspect the original text was written in Swedish and have managed to find out that the original term was most probably "symbollins". Hence my question to Swedish-speaking colleagues.

Asker: Many thanks, Michele!! Just to double chceck. You are suggesting "an indicator light" in an instrument panel and not a "turn indicator"?
