3 lever light switch mod to push/pull switches

Purist read no further, and hateful commenter about inability to operate a 3 lever light switch keep your comments to yourself, i did read the other post

I consider these switches unreliable, they fail like this one did at the most inopportune times, flashers power, button C melted into plastic while assisting another vehicle and caused my flasher to fail to operate.
Now for those that would like a build sheet on how to repair your 3 lever light switch and use any kind of switch, ie push pull, toggle, flip, push button, this is only a build with parts in the shop, a proof of concept so to say. I will open some older non working 3 levers later to verify that wire colors are the same, this one is dated 2010. Push/pull switches used are rated 6-32v

This setup is turn/horn/brake powered on all the time, markers on switch 1 and headlights on switch 2, headlights are powered thru markers so, no markers-no headlight. There are no black out service used in this set up, if BO is needed or wanted, then there are 2 other wires need to be powered on different switches. This was not difficult to disassemble as some other posts have suggested, I fully agree that there are no usable parts inside to repair as the 3 that i have taken apart so far have all melted the metal contacts into the mounting plastic. Only usable parts will be the case and the backing plate/cannon plug/wires assembly.

switch 1
white, yellow, black together on power post of switch 1
green, black/white on load side of switch 1, also undescribed short wire from load side of sw 1 to power side of switch 2
switch 2
undescribed wire from load side sw1 to power side of sw 2
brown wire from load side sw 2

orange and purple need connected together, i just clipped back the purple short and soldered the orange into the pin of the purple

Drill bit and a dremel cleaned up the inside for a level mating surface, on the outside I had to level off the switch offsets because my switches didnt have a long enough neck

Did I miss how to connect a functional high beam?

High beam through floor dimmer switch

Brown wire pin m is the service drive wire, bright/dim is controlled by dimming switch on the floor
