Wiring an Illuminated Rocker Switch For Stungun

Hello Everyone,

I found this website about a month ago and since have been inspired to build my very own "advanced combustion cannon" similar to a lot of the over/under spud guns that are on this website.

So to the topic of the question.... I am trying to replace the safety slide switch that comes standard on most stun guns with an illuminated rocker switch. I have figured out how to wire the rocker switch so that it acts as the new safety for the stun gun but I can not figure out for the life of me how to get the light to turn on in the switch.

The old switch only had two wires running to it but the rocker switch has three prongs coming from the bottom. One for ground, load and power. If anyone knows how to wire the switch correctly so that it illuminates when switched on I would greatly appreciate it.

Just try it out!
One will be ground, the other probably for the light and the third will be the actual switch line.
Just test it :)

Do you know the voltage that has to be applied?
