Adding handrail work lights to a MF 5400 series

Thinking of adding some extra side facing lights to my 5410 on the top of the indicator arms. They appear to have been an optional extra and when I remove the plastic cover there are 2 unused plugs already there. However, neither of them is powered with any of the the existing cab lights. In the manual it shows a switch below the other 2 work light switches for the optional handrail lights. Am I right to think there will be the correct plugs behind the switch blanking cover to simply pop in the correct switch (I have a load of the proper Carling switches here), plug in a pair of work lights (I have a pair of LED units here too), and away to go? Or is it going to be more complicated than that? I did remove the wswitch cover but no plug was obvious. Perhaps I have to did around for it?
Cheers

I have found a relay block which may be the right one but doesn't seem to be continuity to any of the wires in the indicator support! Ther also doesn't appear to be a switch block present anywhere obvious. I will have another look and give up I think :)

Yes, I too added a relay behind the left dash panel. Standard 4 terminal relay just plugged in. Also was a switch socket behind the upper switch blank advice the can light switches.
Had you the side lights and key turned on when checking for power in the relay block?
