Yes that is correct. What I've found confusing though is that in typical Alfa style they have a tendancy to be mixed around, at least that's what I've experienced here in Australia.

Nice work though - I've had someone do a similar job to one of mine, wasn't as tidy as what you've done though.

ROCK ON

Thanks!
Now that I know that there are two types and I would like to see a picture of the later version board.

The fix was not hard at all with a soldering iron and some wire. Gubi showed me the way and I did what worked best for me. The way I did it keeps the wires out of the way and I attached them to the back of the board so I knew they would still sit in flush and be easy to take off to change bulbs. The trunk latch as a ground was the closest, and best, choice I had after using an Ohm meter.
