1975 CB125s Switches NEED HELP

[Flinnstone]

Can anyone help me please? I recently bought a killswitch/headlight switch from dime city and also a similar horn/turn signal switch to install on my new handlebars. The wiring from the switches are different colors from the original internally wired stock switches from the old handlebars. I was wondering how to install these new switches on my 1975 cb125s wiring that is in the headlight. Do I just cut and solder to the original wires? I am new to this so don't be too harsh please. Just looking for a some helpful advice to get everything working so I can finally ride this beauty.

Did the new switches come with wiring diagrams? Lets hope so...if they did, then yea, just solder each circuit together. (i'd probably twist the wires together one by one and verify they work before soldering...but that's me)

If there's enough wire with the switches to reach the headlight bucket, you can buy the same bullet terminals the bike already uses. Attach the bullets to the switch wiring, and then it's "plug and play".

it helps getting a wiring diagram for your bike and looking it over til you know what's what when you end up cracking it open. but.. I would go with bullet connectors so you can slip them right back into the original 'terminals' if you will. as for wiring I hope the switches came with diagrams then just match it up to the stock setup.

not sure what the 125 wiring is but I found a $10 switch on eBay that was a spot on match for my 75 cb200 left side TS/HL hi-lo/HORN if need be, it was color matched perfectly to Hondas stock (at least for my 200).
