Side light and tail lights work with ignition on or off

12V comes from the track 30 in the fusebox which is permanent 12V

It comes out of connector B23 to the light switch on red 1mm2, check there is voltage on thin red at switch ( poke a probe into the back of the connector to touch the wire contact)

From the light switch in either position 1 or 2 it connects to grey/black ( Left side) or Grey/red right side check you have voltage on these colours when switch in pos 1 or 2
From the light switch it returns on those wire colours to the fuse box where it is fused by Fuse 7 left and Fuse 8 Right, pull the fuse check you have voltage when switch in pos 1 and 2, check both sides of fuse contacts not sure if it is upper or lower, there should be voltage on one side only of the fuse contacts.

From the fuse box it leaves to the lights on the same wire colours connector C4 and C14 to the front and E9 and E18 to the rear.

Wiring to the rear goes via the round connector in the black box, you can disconnect this and check you have voltage on the pins with the same wire colours when the lighting switch is on.

After than it’s bulbs or bulb holders or earths.

when measuring voltage black probe is always on body, red probe is on the thing you are checking
