Well, I have located the 12 volt power source under the control panel on the right hand side. As the service manual states, wire 162C is hot. A simple blade connector fits perfectly in the slot. I will run a wire from the red wire in the beacon connector to the switch. Then a wire will go from the switch, under the mat (with the rest of the wires in the harness) to the dash, and up to the orange wire that will be removed from the switch. That will make the hazards independant. Then I will switch the purple wire into the orange wires slot on the original light knob.

We will have independant hazards:
the light switch will be
off
work lights
work lights/headlights
headlights

That would be easily reversable if you wanted.
