+## Error message
+
+Type signatures are only allowed to be in instance declarations when the `InstanceSigs` language extension is enabled.

+Example1.hs:6:13: error: [GHC-06202]
+    • Illegal type signature in instance declaration:
+        (==) :: A -> A -> Bool
+    • In the instance declaration for ‘Eq A’
+    Suggested fix: Perhaps you intended to use InstanceSigs

+title: Illegal type signature in instance declaration
+summary: Method in class instance has type signature, but extension InstanceSigs is not enabled
+severity: error
+introduced: 9.6.1
+---
+
+This error is emitted when class instance has type signature, but extension [InstanceSigs](https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/exts/instances.html#instance-signatures-type-signatures-in-instance-declarations) is not enabled. Note that `InstanceSigs` is part of `GHC2021` and `GHC2024` [editions](https://ghc.gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/doc/users_guide/exts/control.html), so you won't encounter this error in new code unless you explicitely opt-out.
