Now that I finally have my 59 Euro sunroof out of the body shop I can begin reassembly. First off is the wiring harness. I bought the car 100% disassembled with no OG wiring harness. The car came with a Wiring Works US version harness and I later purchased the semaphore harness. I see that Wiring Works does not list a euro version harness for my car.
I am confused as to where to begin. In looking at the harness I have there seems to be redundant wires between the main harness and the semaphore harness, also the main harness is for a six wire turn signal switch which would be ok with me to use. So would I just eliminate th extra wires and use the six wire switch? I would also like to use my rear tail lights as blinkers along with the semaphores.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What is the system voltage and semaphore voltage. Do you want the semaphore bulb to flash?

The voltage will be 6v and I would like to end up having the semaphores flash at the same rate as the rear turn signals. At this time not planning any front turn signals. Using euro headlights with no provision for parking light bulbs.

The Semaphore Controller is designed for 12V or 6V Semaphores in either 12V or 6V electrical systems. The front lights are optional.
