Which guide are you using?

[Jimbob]

What switch have you got? Only the blue and white base switches work.

[jurassicwadey]

have got the white base switches, was using this guide-

http://www.strictlyeta.net/technical/e36switches.html

but my wiring from the dash seems to be different colouring, and one wire from switch is different to that of the diagram??

[jurassicwadey]

anyone got any tips??

[Jimbob]

What colour wires have you got on the E30 side, and what colours from the switch?

Knowing what car you have is a useful start. Also, the Wiki has an expanded version of that guide with extra wiring:

Finally, you can compare the guides with the Wiring Diagrams for your car:
