In addition, with the headlight switch set to sidelights, I notice that the MG7 nearside tail light, and the corresponding front sidelight (LED) are much dimmer then the drivers side ones, plus, the brake light on the nearside rear is on, this is without the ignition on. Also, I notice that the screen of my DIN / Sat Nav is not a constant brightness, and is fluctuating.
I am unable to find any damp / water ingress, I've checked the BCU, and the boot... I am lost! Could it be the light control module, am I overlooking something really simple? I'm hoping one of the electrical wizzes can point me in the right direction....
Thanks & regards Phil

sounds very much to me like you have one of the following 3-4 issues...
Bad earth (ground connection)
short circuit on the lighting loom
Water in the loom or header connector(s)
a failing LSM (light switch module....
I would begin by popping the lsm out and undoing / redoing the connector plug while checking dor damp ./ corrosion
then check the rear light clusters for bad connections / damp or dodgy wiring
then the same for the front lights and wiring, especially over the engine members and inner wings / near the PS pump pulley and belts
