If you look behind the N/S light cluster you will find a wiring loom there that you can wire the 7 core straight into, if you have genuine electrics simply plug in otherwise some bullet terminals will do.......

There may still be the original plug, situated on the offside rear light unit
on mine

Just Google 12N and 12S Electrics and you'll find a couple of sites....

12S is now a doddle with a smart relay....

Thanks guys, I have done it now, I tried the N/S cluster but there were a couple of wires that I needed that were'nt there..I looked in the O/S cluster and there was an old tow bar electric cable that had been cut off so I just copied the wires from that and jobs a good'un.

If anyone else needs to know what to do I have writen the colours down now so I know what goes where and does what in the event of a light failure.

Cheers, Terry
