   all i did with mine is first remember to put sidelights on, then add the dial wires to the bare metal and see which one lights the dials up. it'll def work as theres a bulb in the headlight adjuster that comes on when the sidelights do. so maybe try the orange wire, saxo wiring is never the same as another for some reason

   nice way to test wires there, just asking for trouble
   
   just buy a multimeter, a fiver at the most and you will use it again and again there really handy
