A few questions
corromant:
Mine has P L H, which I assume is park low high. So it looks like the side light should be on all the time the ignition is on.
I notice that the ignition has three positions, off on & what is the other one for?
Just noticed that when I turn the ignition on the instruments light up & so does the rear light.
Have had a look inside the headlamp this morning & found that the side light isn't connected. Another job to sort before MOT

Yes Steve, when you go from dip to main, it goes on park/side light. A very early Honda problem ;D

The third position on the ignition is your park light = side light on the front and tail light on the rear.

With that description it has had a non UK RH switch fitted and these are not so easy to get now(UK ones that is). You can fit the round switch on the LH side, it wasn't on all UK ones as i remember but retro fitted by a lot of owners. It is available at Dave Silver but a bit pricey and the screw comes seperate!
You can just fit a front sidelite bulb and as long as it works there is no MOT or C & U reg that says lights have to turn off
