It seems the previous owner pot "stronger" lightbulbs in the Troll and because he did not fit relays the "light switch" situated under the steering wheel (covers covering steering colum) has now burnt out and the Troll has no lights.
Firstly is this possible
Secondly where can I get one of these light switches or is it a stealer item only?

First change the lights to something that will not burn your switch or fit a relay and yes very posible and yes speak to the stealers

Ok so its called the "dim and bright" switch, apparently only available from stealers
- awaiting price.
Yep will be getting a relay per light installed with the new switch to ensure this does not happen again

Cedric,
Somebody also refered to old Skyline part compatibility. Can't remember what that was for.
Good luck Offroadbicker
You should be able to fit a seperate manual hand switch to replace the existing dim/bright.
