I've had a couple requests for toggle switch replacements for ignition, wiper and headlight switches over the last year so here are some diagrams.
Ignition switch: Biggest pro is ease of use. Biggest con is ease of theft. Fairly simple circuit to construct and everything should work as before with the exception of the brake warning light during cranking.
Headlight switch: A tougher circuit to simplify with a single toggle. It requires headlight relays. Everything should work the same except for the dash light dimmer. It would be on full brightness whenever the park or head lights are on. The relays will help brighten your lights if you're not using them yet.
Wiper switch: Another complex circuit. A relay is required to provide the PARK function which was built into the original switch. A separate momentary switch is needed for the washers.
