The puddle lights will need activating in pp2000.
As for the wiring to the window switches, I wouldnt know without seeing a picture of what wires you have and connections you have, but, it shouldnt be to hard to deduce by a process of elimination.

The early one D8 will be normal wiring and I figure the new D9 will be multiplexed.....tricky one to get round...
