  Check your grounds.  In fact you may want to add a ground connection to the car body at each of the rear light units.  The light panels for the urq have a tab for a spade lug specifically for this purpose.

  Thanks Huw and everyone who pointed me in that direction - look like just 
  the info I need.

  Now if only I can stop the front right pilot light coming on when I hit the 
  brake pedal...(seriously it does!)

  Cheers Rob.
