Exclamation HELP! Need 86 or 87 FSM or Wiring Diagrams

As title states, I need to get a hold of preferably a 1987 FSM or Wiring Diagram manual, possibly an 86
I have been working out of the 88 but Im finding a lot of things are not matching up, (specifically on the cluster switches and where the wires are supposed to be on the plugs)
At first I thought maybe it was an S4/S5 thing but I checked out the 89 FSM and no luck there either. So Im assuming I need the manuals for an 87 which is where the switches came from.

Anyone have access to these or have them? I only need a few of the pages.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help but please read the original post
I am using the 88 FSM which is what you linked me to
However my switch is not the same as im finding out
I attached an image so maybe it is easier to understand
The plugs they show in the FSM dont have the wires in the same spot as are actually on my car
All switches worked perfectly when removed so they are obviously wired correctly, I just cant figure out what wire goes where on my new car since they are different.

I edited that pic to make it easier to understand maybe?
The X's are where wires are supposed to be on the FSM side and on the plugs from my car the X's represent where wires actually are
The first switch is the turn signal/dimmer switch and the second is the headlight/rear defrost switch

thanks again but that is the same manual and its from an 88

Here:
http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page=rx7manual
http://www.wankel.net/~krwright/cars/rx7/manuals.html
http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/factory_service_manual/

Those are all the same manual and are from 1988 despite it saying 86-88, its the actual 1988 manual. Im looking for the 1987 one

This IS 86-87 and it's the same as 88. There are some differences b/t the real 86-87 and what some call 86-88. That 86-88 is a misnomer.

somehow I knew you'd be answering this....
however then that still doesn't help me because it looks like the same information I already have
I compared using colors of wires this time based on what you posted
If you notice all of the wires are in different spots on the plug and I am missing a wire from each plug. These plugs are factory original from an 87 T2 and have not been modified in anyway

Well I took all the wires out and put them back in the way the diagrams show them
Then ran the continuity tests from the FSM and it all checked out
So im not sure why the wires were all messed up to begin with now
