That sounds like the thicker of the wire fed things that need a permanent live, like your lights, hazards etc, which really ought to be a fused feed. You could disconnect that wire, (after disconnecting the battery), then re-connect the battery & see what doesn't work.

Thanks mate, yeah that's the plan for today I think, the car starts and runs absolutely fine now but didn't have my multi meter with me yesterday so couldn't check the battery voltage whilst running,

So update for today, I officially thought I had all headlights, Brake lights etc done, ticked off the list, finished, every single light circuit is on a relay, only sidelights are leds and they will be controlled by a switch on the dash once it's all done, car now starts from the key instead of the big red start button, great I'll pack the crimp tool and connectors away and move onto fitting the new carpet, but before I do that I'll get the misses to just stand at the back of the car and double check lights, so rear lights come on with high beam, low beam, sidelights, great all good. Let me just double check the rear lights stay on if I switch my high beam onto constant full (stalk pused forward with lights on) front works perfect but the rear lights go out, but they don't go out if I pull the lever as if I was flashing to signal someone, racking my brains I could not find a solution, I tried running 2 separate cables from the rear, 1 for high beam 1 for low beam, but then because I had affectively created one big circuit I had high beam, low beam, rear lights all on and the flasher didn't work, so back to the drawing board, going to try a holdover relay setup in the morning
