Hi! Thanks for your reply. Which lights should come on for normal night driving with the headlamps? My headlamps work but nothing illuminates in the rear.
The bumper red lights (inboard of the indicators) should come on dim for tail lights, and get brighter when the brakes are pressed, the high level light above the spare wheel will also come on with the brakes.
Wow so just the bumper lights as tail lights? That seems so strange to me but thank you for clearing that up! They work when the brakes are applied but I get nothing for the tail lights. I will do some more digging now I know where to look! Thanks

Thank you so much! Honestly have been pulling my hair out! I would never have even questioned it myself without someone mentioning my lights were out - then doubting myself!The tail lights are a bit pathetic, so some people have actually modified the wiring and bulb holders for the fog lights, so those work as tail and brake instead, using the bumper lights as the fog lights.
The reason LR made the bumper lights the tail lights, was so they were still visible with the tail door open. The spare wheel would obstruct the higher lights when the tail door was open, making the vehicle look like a motorcycle at night when parked on a hard shoulder, when changing a tyre for instance.

i think some are .. some aren't
On SWMBO's Freelander I wired the top set as tail/stop, and the bottom set as tail/fog.
I got over the spare wheel covering the O/s light cluster by fitting a row of LED's wired up to the interior light, so they come on when ever she opens the back door.
