| Cant find the number should tell you on the back of the relay cover normally does also check the earthing point at your rear lights as without that no lights as according to the diagram only a live comes from the switch the earth is local to the lights normally in one of the side pockets in the boot hope thats a help like I said no auto electrician Thanks Kelvin hope sort it | |

| Just putting in my bit does indeed sound like switch, if you have checked bulbs, i bet its the switch  and it would be at the top of the pedal

There will be two sorts, when you get it dont be tempted to press it in as you feck it.
They are auto adjusting. | |
