Yep 75 = semi live.
30 = perm live.
ok so i have done this and it does work :D........................... buuuutttt when you turn the ignition on the switches light up so maybe we need to look at wiring it up so the switches light up when the dash lights turn on :)

just though you might want to know :)

so you've run no.1 wire on the switch to an illumination source?

I'm guessing that they've piggybacked the illumination wire for the switch onto the switched live (yellow) somewhere.

You could always cut this and join it to your Bora vent loom
