Connect the lights feed to the input pin, sidelights to the first on position and headlights to second on position.

Then you need an on/on changeover switch (ie with 3 terminals). The headlight feed from the first switch goes to the input pin, then one output to the headlights and the other to the main beam.

Make sense?

Have you got a multimeter. If so have a play around and try and work out which terminal is which. You could always do away with the column stalks and use dashboard switches, looks neater and less production car like IMO.

Should be fairly straightforward to work out which connector is which anyway.
