Hello again:

Sorry for the delay...just noticed this message.
You are correct that you have a few more pin-outs. The 58b and 58a I believe is really 56b and 56a, but take a close look so we are not making this worse.

However, with that said your MY 84 car will have 56b as a Yellow wire routed back to the Fuse Block D17. Your 56a wiring should be two (2) wires with one White wire going back to the Fuse Block G8 and a smaller Blue/White wire going to your Instrument Cluster for the High Beam/Low Beam indicator light.

Hope this helps, and Good Luck!

Yes , it helped and my 944 has lights again. Now, do you know anything about assembling back the emergency brake next to the driver's seat? See, I disassembled the button, the spring inside, and one nut inside the tube and cant put it back together..help would be appreciated. thank you
