Have you checked the fuses? (or is that a daft question?)

What van?

There are two round plugs in the black box are you sure you are checking the right one? Also need to be sure you are checking voltage on the connector from fusebox if disconnected

Assuming front sidelights work they are on same fuse as tail so start with tail lights they are grey /black and grey/red left hand connector in this pic, need to check with voltmeter from there to body

Can you get a pic up of the black box connector?
Earths for lights should be under the coil on the body.

We need to see the wire colours on that 7 pin connector, try and get the whole area in around the black box
Do your sidelights work at the front?
get a pic up of the relays above fusebox also.
can we assume you have a voltmeter and know how to use it?
