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.......

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
