I need to refit the standard rear brake light and horn for a daylight MOT ahead of a road trial next month (Manx). Can someone give me some clues as to which wire goes where? I have all the standard wiring and light in a box and can't figure it out.
Thanks!

Are you sure you need a brake light for a daytime MOT?
My MOT tester told me to remove all traces of the original lights, switches and wires for the daylight MOT.
He wanted to see a full sized number plate, a speedo (that didn't need to work) and a continuous tone horn.
Other than this, he just checked the normal mechanical items and it passed ok.

Unless the law has changed recently you don't need a brake light, and some will let a bulb horn pass. Not all mind, best to ask first.
