Just to build on the excellent advice below, and as briefly as I can . . .
With the three position switch you have, a regulator would be in order. Its function is to sense the state of the load and battery, and balance those to keep the battery charged, thus the switch only controls your lights.
The 4-position switch was for manual regulation of the charge rate on the simpler relay. L(ow) charge and H(igh) charge -- lights off -- were the basic choices. When you crank the switch around to D(im) or (B)right, the charge resistor is taken ou of the circuit (same as in the H position) and the charge rate is reduced by the amperage drawn by the lights.
As was said before, decide what you want and wire accordingly. With the 3-position switch, a regulator would be the easiest way to go, but be prepared to deal with the reality that many (thankfully, not most, but still, many)regulators are bad right out of the box.
With regulators there can also be a polarity issue, which may come into play, with 6v being more typically + ground, and 12v being NEG. Eliminate some headaches by making sure what you buy is compatible to what you want/are set up for.
