Weird one here. Didn't have time to get this fault sorted before the MOT so the 90 is currently SORN. Ideally I'd like to get this sorted and have the 90 back on the road.
TD5 running JW Speaker LED lights all round. Here's a list of the good and the bad.... Center console interior night driving lights come on. 
Interior dashboard speedometer lights dead 
Offside rear sidelight works 100% brightness as a brake light
.....but not when the brakes aren't in use resulting as zero light emitted as a night driving light
Front left DRL runs at full brightness when headlamps off
....but hardly visible when headlamps are switched on
...Also when the engine off and sidelights on... the front left DRL is the only one still on 😂. Ideas folks? It can't be the fuses as they'd all be off... I'm thinking it's a relay issue... perhaps a switch? Thanks for looking.

First two things to do.
1) check polarity and voltage at each light 2) Check or replace all earths. Brendan |

Cheers Brendan.
Sensible start. The front DRL's are an absolute NIGHTMARE to get to as they bolt from the back. I'll have a look at the rears first and take it from there.

Unless the lights have been disturbed in any way (I have JW marker lights so know your pain / the benefit of extra security
 ) I would be checking earth points 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Looking at the pictures again you aren't getting any power at all to the O/S side lights. That is why the O/S DRL is staying bright and the Speedo etc isn't lighting up. Also sounds like no power to N/S rear light so check connection in rear tub corner
