Rear Light Problem

Hi guys, I finally got round to putting my new rear lights on my SJ413 yesterday oly to find I have a problem, no reverse and no p/s side indicators, (front or back), although the hazards work on both sides.......bought the lights off a british seller on e-bay or amazon but I presume they came from abroad, (I've bought that much recently I'm not sure where I got these from haha, will have to dig the paperwork out). Can anyone give me a clue where to start with sorting the problem out?, my SJ is Japanese is there a possibility the lights would be wired for Spanish models?
Cheers

do the wiring colours match up at the plugs? if so, I would think it doesn't matter if it's spanish or jap.

The spanish lights will have a built in foglight on the drivers side, the jap lights have no fog light and a reverse light on both sides
On the standard spanish lights there is a shared earth bar across the bulb holders, the jap have individual earth wires to each bulb holder... but they could be different if they are aftermarket

Have you swapped the units over to test if its a faulty cluster?

If you are in a rush to get them sorted ignore the reversing light...it's not needed for an MOT.

Its spanish regs that they should have a foglight so I'm not sure they may have been changed previously? Good call if they have LOL spanish lights are crap
