I did a little search and this is what I came up with:

old pin 2 (brown) goes into new pin socket 2
- old pin 4 (white) goes into new pin socket 4
- old pin3 (yellow) goes into new pin socket 5
- old pin 1 (green) goes into new pin socket 6


It said it was for a 124, but I think this is the same arrangement I used in my 126 and it worked. Then the city lights just fits into the 5th hole, it's easy to see which one based on the posts on the back of the euro light.

As far as the city light and marker light, what I did I just split the city light wire and ran one to the city light and one to the marker light. Although this isn't "original" to my euro car, I figured it would be better for US regulations and just what is common. I also thought it would be safer since at night you are more apt to see the side of the car. It looks just fine with both the city light and the marker light on at the same time. I suppose if you really wanted to you could just run the city light, don't see where it would trip a light out light.

And reason I had to put euro lights on my euro car was to actually convert it back to the way it was. They had to change them for import
