Headlight wires are White, blue and green
Bypass the kill switch by unplugging it
not sure on the rear light but just remeber that earth is dark green

Remove the big black cylinder under the headlight (capacitor). Connect a 9v PP3 battery across the terminals this was connected to (+ to red, -ve to green) and use this to test the wiring for the front and rear lights using the switches as you would normally. If you have a circuit tester use this, if not a 9/12v bulb will do.

Capacitor is tubular; relay is much smaller and square.
