Pins 4 & 6 on the toggle switches are the ones close to each other sticking
out of the middle of the back of the switch. Pins 2 & 7 are the ones on
opposite sides of the switch closer to the dash. They are numbered and you
will see the numbers in pairs: 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 7 & 8.
On this chart are the open and short measurements I took when I had my
switches disconnected from the harness.

Subject: Re: [Roadsters] Update: Instrument lighting
Robb,
Try swapping the GL and RY wires on the headlight switch. I couldn't
find a diagram of the switch operation,
so this is based on the fact that the 67.5 and later cars turn off the
parking lights when the headlights are on.
If you try the headlights, you should find that they don't work in the
headlight position either, but do in the parking light
position. If the headlights work correctly, check the tail lights to
see if they stay on in both positions and get back with me.
Please also let me know which pins are connected to which in each
position of the headlight switch.
Peace,
Pat
