The brown is the live, red side 'n tail, blue headlights. Just poke some bits of wire in to connect them all.

If your switch has three wires, the brown one is 12V into the switch, the red goes to the sidelights, the blue goes to the dip switch. Connect the brown and blue, this should give you headlights and they will work main/dip as normal.

You do, wire all 3 together or you'll have no rear lights.
