I want to run my headlights to a toggle switch using all the wiring thats there. I have a 3 way switch for high and low beams. Which wire would i run from the back of the old switch to my new one?

All the head light switch does is to send 12volts to the Multi-Function switch(turn signal stalk)
That switch either sends 12volts to Low beam or High beam bulbs, by pulling in or out on the stalk.
It has no direct connection to the head lights


The Tan/white stripe wire(with red wire) is the 24/7 power from a fuse
The Light Green/yellow stripe wire is 24/7 power for Dome light, from a fuse

The Red/yellow stripe wire is the wire that goes to the Multi-function switch for head light power.
Brown wires are out to Parking lights
Black/pink stripe is out to Dome light

If you are still using the multi-function switch then you just need an ON/OFF switch rated for 20 amps
To connect Tan/white and Red/yellow wires


If no multi-switch then you will need to get those wires out of steering column
A pink wire for High Beams and Red/Black for Low Beams
Tan/white stripe for power
