Have you got access to a multi-meter? A quick switch check would be to measure the voltages. There should be a perm 12+ which is the supply to the lights, then when you put the switch to each position 12+ is applied to the other wires (side lights and main). You could use a bulb to test the switch if you are stuck.

The sidelights run through a fuse but the headlights don't so it could be the fuse if your sidelights don't work. Dash lights are also fed from the sidelight circuit. I think it's one in the 4 way fuse block under the bonnet, have a look for a red wire with a green stripe (iirc).

You can also check the switch if you want by temporairly connecting the large brown wire and small red wire together at the back of the switch, if the lights come on it's a faulty switch. My guess would be a dodgy connection in your fuse box though. Well on that 4 way fuse block under the bonnet. The 3rd fuse down wasn't connected right. So now all works :) nice one :) Cheers..
