Here is the switch i bought
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I recieved no wiring instructions with it! and i can't find any at all after trying a bunch of different searches and the manufacture web site:grumpy:

The pins read
8(pin) 7(pin) both have a arrow pointing to them
1(blank) 4(blank)
2(pin) 5(pin)
3(pin) 6(pin)
There is a J between the 5 and 6 pin

I hooked a 9V battery to it and came up with this and its all really a guess but this is how i can make the led's light depending on switch position.

7pin is neg. 8pin positive, bottom led lights always
7pin is neg 2pin positive, lights top led with switch in either on position
7pin is neg 3pin positive, lights up top led in any position

Appreciate any help:joyous:

Should also mention i want to use this switch for my anchor and bow lights.

No Title

So after looking for hours i found this on EBay.
If i understand this pic correctly it looks like i will need a jumper wire between pins 2,5 and 6,8 ?

Connect your power to #2 and #5. #6 goes to your red/green lights and #3 goes to your white light.

#7 goes to ground.
