Existing work light switch feed

Hi all , my defender 2011 had a rear work light fitted when I bought her and it has never worked , I’ve been trying to trace the wires from the switch to the fuse but I’m struggling to find where they go , not sure if it’s an optional extra on a puma as there is also a switch in the rear for the light so thinking it’s a 2 was system ? , any one also have this ? , here is a pic of the front switch , rear switch is the same .

Totally aftermarket, I'm afraid, so you'll have to trace them the traditional way by taking things apart and looking.

So good of Land Rover to leave the choke hole in place after all these years as a convenient place to fit a switch.

As far as the rear work light is concerned it'll be a case of trace the wires, I'd start at the light and work forward as you have 2 switches.

You should do a continuity test with a multimeter.

I’ll try and trace the wires from the switch as there’s no feed getting to them , if no luck I’ll fit a new small fuse box under the front seat and start from scratch

But suffering from a man cold at the moment and feeling like 💩💩💩

Yes I was wondering the same. There is a rubber plug for that hole, but last time a defender had a choke fitted must have been 1991? Never changed the injection molding...you think that be cheaper than making and fitting a plug instead
