no rear tail light and no front side light
 
Hi im on repairing my soon to be show car and have found that once put back together the read drivers and front drivers(uk) tail and side lights arnt working along with fogs.
All fuses are ok under bonnet and in passenger glove box i as wondering if there are any other fuses anywhere to check or any other known issues as its not something i have come accross previously.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

albackuk, from the sounds of things, you have a problem with a ground wire. Specifically the one running to the body under the driver's side headlight housing. Unfortunately, ot access this, you will need to pull the headlight assembly out again. There you will find the ground wire more than likely hanging loose. If the wire is attached like it should, then I would tell you to do a resistance check of the ground wire (from the black wire on the side marker light to chassis). You should get a very low resistance (under 5 ohms). If you get anything over this (more than likely you will get over 2 megaohms), this proves that the ground wire is not connected or you managed to break the wiring internal to the insulation and you need to replace this length of wire.

Hope this helps.
