Default Switch panel wiring. Wanting to replace stock rockers with aftermarket switches

can anyone shed some light on the wiring of the stock switches. I was able to track down a line diagram for one.

I know the orange is illumination on all switches and has a ground as the return path. Im trying to figure out whats the switch leg and whats power on the defogger and rear wiper.

I'd like to install a 6 gang switch panel.

Maybe these will help.
Out of my '00 FSM.
First the disclaimer.
I am really not good at reading schematics.
But if I had to guess:

For the rear defogger:
LB/YL is the 12 volt runs source for the switch.
DB/WT is to the relay.

For the rear wiper it looks more confusing.
So I am not even going to attempt to try and figure that one out.
Also wondering how you are going to do that with an aftermarket switch.
Cause the rear wiper switch is a 2 position of sorts.
First position the wiper turns on and second puts the rear washer into play.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it as I haven't found too much information.

Im an electrician by trade but these line diagrams are a bit different. I noticed on the wiper circuit there is a BR/PNK and a WH/BL landed under the same pin. Maybe these are both acting as a switchleg. From the diagram it looks like power is coming into the switch on a br/pnk then going tge either the motor or washer on another br/pnk. The wh/bl wire is a larger gage and if I was a betting man I'd say it is for the motor, but im really not sure ill likely dead end the washer switch leg to accommodate the switch.
