Might be the switch on the brake pedal mate - should be two wires. Could try bridging the wires together to see if lights come on.

Other than that, it's too early on a Saturday morning for me to think clearly................

Top of the pedal, on the pedal box, coupla wires coming out of it. You can indeed change them, as they unscrew. IIRC, there's a detailed pic in the Hayne's Joke Book.

Mine fell to bits - luckily, I had a spare one, and the terminals were different. I chopped the plug from the wires, crimped on a couple of spade terminals, and found the two terminals on the switch that made the lights work and job's a good un!

I'm just wondering if yours has cruise control? If so, you'll probably need the correct switch - about £12 from Vauxhall.............I ditched the cruise anyway, so it didn't bother me.
