The colour codes were from Witter website, which I used to get my bar installed...

.......

I suspect a mis-print then, as there are two colours for the rear fogs  ;) ;)

Another problem, I,ve connected the towbar wires where the previous owner had cut when removing, but they go into a circuit type board, and at the other end the colours are different, they are
brown
yellow
2 lots of grey
Blue
Black
Green
White
Red,
all of these are a much thinner wire, and also coming from this is an orange wire with an inline fuse on and another white one, which is from the original cable but not going through the circuit board.
Hope I've explained that well enough.
Or can I just not bother with this box?????

Sorry to be a thicko  :y
