Bus Wiring Disconnected

So my goal right now is to get this bus in a drivable, street legal state.  A big part of that is getting the turn signal and brake lights working.  I’ve downloaded a free color wiring diagram for a 1967 fused bus from Samba, and have been trying to figure out what is still original, what has been changed, and how to connect everything to the 9-pin flasher relay.  I also noticed that both the headlights and taillights are not connected to the dimmer relay, but are instead wrapped together in electrical tape.  Of course when I plug them into that relay, the lights don’t come on. I’m definitely clueless with just about everything regarding this bus, but I also feel like I’m starting to learn my way around the thing!  I’m going to disconnect the two relays, clean all the connections, reconnect everything correctly, and see if anything lights up.
