If you've used the same lamp for the handbrake and the fluid level, you can just use the handbrake lever for the test switch - if the light doesn't come on when the brake is on, the bulbs blown.

If you have separate lamps, you'll need a test switch for the brake fluid. A small momentary SPST switch hidden behind the dash should be ok for the IVA man.
