Ignition switch?

I am in the middle of trying to rewire my whole ignition system and on top of the steering column are those two plug-ins. I think the one on the right is the ignition switch, Then what’s the one left? It looks like it has two green wires a yellow and a pink wire plugged into it but I don’t see anything like that combing through schematics?.....

Yes, the one on top in your photo is the ignition switch that powers almost 100% of the car. The one on the left side *might* be the headlights hi-beams switch. I can't remember exactly though.
