Hello,

Yep, when I lift the bootlid, with the lights on, the numberplate lights go out.

I managed to remove the trim panel at the rear of the roof, and can see all of the wires in here, however, I haven't attempted to remove any further than this. There is a large wiring block on the passenger side of the car, that has a spur coming off and into the bootlid. I am tempted to work out which one goes where, then run my own wiring loom into the boot lid and down to the various areas it needs to go to. Bit intense, but could be the only way forward.
