Right. All I did was hard-wire a couple of the lights so when I flip the paddle they light up. Specifically, pins 1 & 2 connected to pin 8.

I got this tidbit from another fourm: http://forums.qrz.com/archive/index.php/t-40067.html

"Pins 1 to 4 connect to switch terminals inside the rotor to light directional lamps in the rotor box. Pins 5 and 6 are for each motor winding; pin 7 is return through a lamp and switch(in the rotor housing) indicating activation, and pin 8 is ground return. This model has no brake."
