Well, that machine turned centre panel looks lovely John, great contrast with the gloss black dashboard, really lifts the interior. Worth all the (your!) effort... IMHO
Re the wing top lights, funnily enough I had a problem with one of mine recently (on the near side). I assumed it was a failed bulb, but no. It turned out to be a connection pulled out under the wing. There are a pair of bullet connectors (+ve & -ve) near the wing stay bar, and the +ve wire had pulled out of the bullet, so it was a simple re-crimp for the repair. May be that your lights are just not connected there... hopefully
