The problem I was having with the indicators was that when ... |

Thanks, Martin. That's really useful stuff. I think I've now got my head around it all.
I'll report back with an update once I've had a chance to try a few fixes.
Thanks again! |

Thanks, Grafty That's good to know, and should be an easy switch I think.
I found a reference to this in the document 'Regulation No 48' from the ECE, but interestingly couldn't see anything about ... |

| Ok, so just tested the fog light switch again and it's now illuminating the left hand side rectangular red light. Should the right hand side illuminate too? I'm guessing so. |

Another quick light related question. This time it's the side repeaters. I should probably mention that I'm fitting this kit: 361934176052
