Right - after looking at the documentation and much head scratching(on work time  )
I think I have the answer...
I think I have made a basic assumption about the switch which is incorrect... I don't now think it needs a +ve illumination input! I think that
is taken care of within the switch!
Also because they are LEDs I may not have been testing the connectors the correct way round!.. bugger...
I have a 8 pole type switch but only 5 poles are present of which 2 and 5 are shorted together. - like this:
.... _ 7
.... ....
_2xx_5
_3 _6
so if power is supplied 2/5 then in first position 2/5 and 3 are connected but 3 also goes through the illum LED to -ve on 7.
in second position 2/5 and 3 AND 2/5 and 6 are connected but 6 is also connected through the dip beam warning LED to -ve at 7
does that sound logical ?

WOW.. how did you find that??
LOL trawled thriugh google images till I found something that looked like it may be them and the rest is history. I'll look at the diagrams
later on tonight and see if any of it makes sense.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

on the wiring diagrams - I figure the switch to be a 'G' and the lighting to be 'Special #1'
bearing in mind i don't have terminals 1,4 or 8.....
thanks for all your help BTW

OK I've studied the diagrams and I'd agree with your post. Goodluck connecting them up they're nice switches. And no problems
I'm glad to have been a help to you. Hopefully you'll have learnt quite a bit by the time you've finished wiring your car,
it's not really that black an art. but at times it can be frustrating.

well - an evening well spent..
I tested the switches and my conclusions were correct BUT both LEDs had broken connectors on them!!!
So.. I found some LEDs the same size etc in an old PC case I had lying around. A bit of fiddling and soldering ... viola! the switches now work
perfectly and my odd earth short has gone
Thanks to all who contributed - especially omega24
