Now Working Lights
As my MOT is due next week I decided to tackle it again, and not sure how I managed it but I have adapted the 3 pin type to fit the 2 pin type. Firstly I fiddled with a multi meter until I got a circuit between 2 pairs of pins, and found a pair that worked.
Hopefully with some pictures you will see from the pictures what I mean. The old one at the bottom showing the 2 sets of connections.
The new one at the top I found a circuit between 31-3 and 15-R. So \I then carefully pulled back the rubber boot and exposed the plug and accordingly moved the connections to the corresponding pins, Like this.
This is how the connections were when I pulled the rubber boot back. The bottom 2 are the reverse wires. I used a set of small tweesers to push a small tab down and pull the wires out. The Pic below shows how I connected them in the new switch. Result is Working Reverse Lights !
