One after one the lights on my Spitfire Mk II have disappeared -
fortunately with the exception of the headlights. I was able to get my
break lights back online today by cleaing the sockets, but front park
lights, rear lights and licence plate light are still out....
Any idea as to why, where and how to fix it

In many, many years of experience in this area with any number of Triumphs,
what you describe is almost invariably caused by dirty contacts in the fuse
box. If the fuse is intact, just "roll" it around...and chances are your
"running lights" will come back. If that brings back everything but
taillights,
chances are you're due for just a bit more cleaning up of the contacts in the
taillight base.
