Inner square headlights not working

Hi all, 

I have a 1986, 1.9 DG Autosleeper.

I have just installed the campervan culture headlight loom upgrade kit as per the youtube video below and noticed my inner headlights don't work when I turn on full beam. I have square/ rectangular headlights.

The bulbs are working as I removed them and connected them directly to a 12v source to confirm.

I then replaced the bulbs and applied the 12v source to the connectors on the back of the light and the bulb did not light. 

I attached the earth for the loom kit to new earth after sanding back to bare metal. I have also checked all fuses.

The headlights are now getting 12.2v up from 9.8v prior to the wiring upgrade.

So currently I have dipped and full beam with the rectangular headlights but the smaller inner lights are not working.

It is possible that they were not working before I changed the wiring over because at present I rarely drive the van at night.

I have a couple of pictures of how the lights are wired at the back here: Loom upgrade pictures

Any help would be much appreciated.

the wiring looks correct so I'd suspect the termination of one of the wires, voltage check at the terminals cos if the bulbs work and the wiring is right I can't see why they wouldn't work
You have got stock H4 type bulbs in the main lights haven't you ?

As has been said where else you posted this , it’s looking like the loom is faulty, bulbs proven to ok, they are just piggybacked into the crimps by the look of your pictures

Have you got a picture of how the bulbs connected ?
