    i think that 3 wires are for off, parkers, headlights and the others are for dashlight dimmers low, meduim and bright and interior light

    its very hard to help you out over text based, but all i can sudgest is just do alot of experimentation.

    stick the old switch back in, and find out exactly what each of the 4 wires do.

    then get the new switch, and analyise what each wire does with respect to other wires. im guessing there will be a main positive wire that comes in, and this is switched to the other wires to get parkers/light etc.
    In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

    Bring it round to my place after the exams(2 weeks time) and I'll fix it for you.

    W-B is not parklight. W-B is always earth.

    R-Y is headlight like you have said.

    I am starting to think G is park light.

    R-G is high beam.
