   My number plate lights dont work, wire had broken before i owned it but even with repair doesnt work. Is there a fuse box in the cockpit? If needed, how should I wire a new light circuit into rear lights? Not only MOT fail but will get me pulled at some point no doubt.
   Thanks

   OK, just read FAQ. Fuse located. Waiting for wifey to bring car home for me to check.
   But still would like to know where to splice in new wires ffor the number plate lights.
   Thanks

   Can you not just join a new wire onto where the old wire had 'broke'?

   Tried it but no power. Left rear light seems fine so I guess its not the fuse and the wires are broken elswhere.....Nightmare.
   BTW the fuse panael under the glove box isnt a fuse box lol, its the scantool socket?
