As the power cuts out when the illumination is killed.
Personally, id follow the first diagram i put up.
Just get a tester and test options #3, #4, and #4 to find the illumination live and the ignition live. Thats what i done.
Depends, theres 2 different terminals (i think?)
Permanent Live
On with ignition

no probs, i got it sorted in the end
it all worked fine, until i put the bumper on. the first line one isnt working, on the drivers side. the negative and positive wires may have touched as i forgot to wrap them up
, but the bulb is fine, so is the fuse etc..

mite be that then , as in the bulb could look fine but if its had a knock it may have broke the filiment! seems the most likely thing anyway.
They do look
tho.
whens it back on the road then?
