wire diagram for 56 headlight switch

I'm rewiring my 54 completely and converting it to 12 volt.
It currently does not have an existing wire as I tore out what little there was when I started the restoration


I bought a 56 headlight switch but the plugs are different.
Does any one have a diagram as to what the terminals are.


Thanks for any and all help.

Here's the original wiring schematic.





Something to keep in mind is the front parking lights were not originally set up as turnsignals. You'll need to replace the 1 wire sockets with 2 wire sockets, add two more wires from the turnsignal switch and new bulbs.
