X-06 connector and fog light connector question

Hi all, I am trying to wire in a connector for the fog light switch, as my 1993 r1 does not seem to come with the harness for it.
So far it looks like I will need a male connector from corsa-technic https://www.corsa-technic.com/item.php?item_id=740 and the corresponding pins for it. It looks like I will need 16 awg wire. I am trying to make it as close to factory wiring as possible.
My question is:
1. what kind of pin does the x-06 connector use? does anyone happen to have a picture of the x-06 connectors?
2. From the wiring diagram, it looks like a R/Y wire and W wire goes between the x-06 connector and E-08 connector, responsible for powering the fog light. The R/B and R/G I assume would be for the light on the button? Does anyone know where they go to? and maybe the corresponding connector/pin size so that I can wire them in?



Thank you!

Yes, the R/B and R/G are the illumination for the light inside the switch. These wires are shared throughout the Instrument harness. They route to connector a bunch of connectors to the TNS relay, and X-18 and the gauges, switches, glove box light, etc....
X-06 is a blue, 22-pin connector joining the Front and Instrument harnesses
R/Y is power from the low beam supply and W is hot out to the Fogs, illumination wire does not need to be 16AWG, its just lighting the switch

Finding the X connectors (and all the others too) has been something a few of us have worked on over the years. The X connectors have been very tough to find the actual part numbers...let alone the pins for them. Recommend you borrow wires/pins that may not be in use, else you're probably going to have a bigger wiring job than you want in re-engineering X-06 or just adding a small connector for the fogs separate from X-06

Something I built a couple years ago that may help you https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generati...guide-1129705/ of note - the 93 does have some differences from the 94 and 95

Another option for the OP is to take pictures of his existing X06 connector and share that with the good folks at Corsa-Technic. Odds are pretty good that they'll be able to ID the exact connector shells & terminal parts (or current compatible replacements) so the OP can re-pin what he has with new terminals. I've had good luck doing that with the X14, X05 and a few other oddball OEM connectors.

May be worth the community to send in pictures of all of our connectors to CT, finally get a list of everything to repair harnesses properly
