(pretty sure brown is positive, blue is negative)
So.. i need to connect switch, live feed and lights together. Any ideas?
Should i go buy a multimeter?
I'm guessing there's a permanent live feed to the lights an the switch controls the negative bit?
anyone?
When diffusing a bomb its usually the red wire.. it may help with your wiring if you have a countdown timer
You could always ask the guy who ripped them out and then didn't feel it was his task to refit them, even if it meant a phone call to you to ask for the presumably new locations and if you would be prepared to pay the additional charge for doing so.

Should really be permanent negative to the lights and the switch controls the positive.
Should be fairly easily work out-able with a multimeter, and they're only about a tenner from Maplins.
