RG170dx wiring 5 way switch HELP


Ive bought a Dimarzio Evo 2 (bridge) and a Tonezone S to replace my crappy powersound pickups and i need help with the wiring.

I have a standard 5 way selector and I just need to know EXACTLY which wire goes where.I couldnt find a Dimarzio diagram to match with my selector.

Ive uploaded the current wiring

Thanks in advance...

Go to DiMarzio website, choose any humbucker, click "installation" and then "Humbucker-single-humbucker" and that's your scheme. On that scheme you've got there's a switch with 8 in-line pins. Do you have that switch or 4/4?

Check the scheme on HSH config help thread and solder as on this scheme, but solder black and white together instead of just white and solder green and ground instead of just ground
