I was somewhat confused by the original suggestions but checked all wiring directions, including those wires for the fog lights which in fact run from the end of the bumper from a multi plug. I was able to see around the entire outside of each unit.

As I need to use the car over the next few days, I will put off another attempt until next weekend. Though I may go under the fuse box and have a go there on Monday, so long as I don't break any wires.
yes I thought that too, but three months later I still hadnt found the break. Had the screws that had welded themselves to their nuts on the bumper removed, and whilst fixing the fan, removed the headlight, and found what is in that picture. Removing the plug didnt help. I had done all that, and like you was going to run a wire from one side to the other to get through the mot.

Mine was the offside, as seen, however, whilst the nearside has the plastic sheath over the seam, it doesnt below the headlight. This shows the position
