Default Headlight switch wiring help

I am trying to wire a 95 headlight switch into a 69 Firebird, so I need to identify what the wires on the 95 switch are for.

I tried testing the switch last night with a battery and a test light.

I assume the 10-12 gauge red wire is the main power wire, but it could be the same gauge white wire. With either the red or the white wire connected to the positive battery terminal and the test light connected to negative, none of the other wires were hot when the switch was in the park lamp on setting or the headlamp setting. Is this a bad switch?

What are the small blakc, orange, tan, and brown wires for? When the switch was turned to the headlamp on if the red wire was connected to positive the white wire was hot, but none of the other wires had power....

HELP! I'm trying to wrap up this dash swap!

Thanks,

Drew
