    I'm looking for a nice clear schematic for the headlight switch and turn signal switch. I'm using an EZ wiring harness, if I can figure out the 6 wire signal switch and the terminals on the headlight switch, I can get the job done. Can any fellow hambers help me out and tell what wire does what? My turn siganal switch is stock 54, theres 6 wires in the following colors:

    light blue
    yellow
    dark blue
    pink
    purple
    white
    they are in that order in a molded flat harness out of the switch.

    The headlight switch has 9 terminals, 3 on the left side, 2 on the right, 1 ont the panel dimmer and 3 on the back.

    Ok, I actually got to wiring the headlight switch today, and I need a bit more help from you guys. I used the link above and got everything but where to put the headlight power wire. I can't post a picture from my phone, but it's on page 12.46 in this link http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1949_53/12electrical/12_46.HTM
    Hopefully that link works, trying to post from my phone. If someone can post a picture of where to hook the power up, or explain it to me, I'd really appreciate it.

    That's what I was thinking, but I wanted to be sure before I powered it up and had a cloud of smoke roll out of the car. Thanks a bunch jim
