I have the dreaded water damage to the central multi plug. This has caused the front sidelights to fail. My question is, what colours are the wires for the front sidelights a..Multiple end and b..fusebox end. As this is the only problem and the sidelights are not fused, I am iconsidering bypassing the multiplug altogether.

Hi Cockney Rich, bypassing sounds like a cheap solution. I will see if the diagram has wire colours on them, they are often wire numbers printed on the insulation.

No colours are shown, but the wire numbers are 2604 for the right hand side lamp, it connects to the BSI1 on pin 13 of the 16 way NR connector,

and wire number 2603 is the right side light control line from the BSI, this is on pin 5 of the same 16 way connector.
