For the early diagram there are a couple things I would change. The red
wires to the headlight switch and hi/lo switch are both labeled as
coming from fuse S9. This is not really true and misleads people into
thinking those 2 wires are fuse protected. They merely connect to the
back of the fuse holder on the end that the fuse itself gets power from
sharing that power source. The fuse does nothing for those red wires.

Also your added note in the later diagram about the red wire to term 30
of the hi/lo switch applies as well to the earlier wiring.
