older land rovers dont have lights that come on when you open the door! They're only on the more modern defenders for lazy gits who can't be bothered to flick a switch. We're driving good ole sterling vehicles here Chris, not fancy space age crafts.

Oh 1991! Dunno if that's still wired up like mine or not. I have a 1986 90. This is how my rocker switch works:
Down:
Interior light on, dashboard lights off
Middle:
No interior or dashboard lights
Up:
Dashboard lights only
Down:
Interior light on, dashboard lights off
Middle:

If you put your headlights on and then tilt the dashboard rocker switch up, your dashboard dials should light up. It wont light up unless your headlights (or sidelights) are on. If you title the switch to the middle, no lights should come on, and the dashboard dials should not light up. If you tilt the rocker switch down, the interior light should come on.
They dont necesserily have to work in that order, they can be wired to do different things at certain points on the rocking movement!

mines certainly was diffrunt, it started life as a single cab, then had a shed on the back until the previous owner found sum sides and a roof. I managed to find an old series back door kickin around a farm to replace the twin walled perspex thingy!!!!! I think the wirings bin butchered a bit so my switches could be totally diffrunt to everyone else's.
