Your best bet is to use the Technical Manual. You need to be a full member to access this (the best $30 you will ever spend for the car). There is an electrical schematic for the car. There are also many photos and assembly details for the lights.

It is invaluable if you are going to do work on the car yourself.

The search function is also quite powerful. Just be sure to use the one in the string of items starting with "Home" - that will search the entire forum (not the tech manual however). The one at the top right of the page (under the club logo) will only search the forum section you are currently viewing.
