L into 1..... S/L into 2.( Xin new light).... N into N.... E into E.

that's for front light.as for the back, does not look as if you have the facility for manual switch. check MI see if it's got override feature by switching off/on, maybe twice in a couple of secs. otherwise, looks as if the S/L would tap into the red wire.

Hello

Cheers for that.
Back one has override feature so that’s fine

Front one I’ll have to redo as I didn’t know what the x was for so put s/l into L and put the permanent feed into a wago but if x is for that I can redo. It’s one of them dusk till dawn ones but probably explains why nothing is happening apart from going on and off when switching but need to re order a pir version anyway.
