   Might look a bit gash, I think he want's to stick with the standard look.
   
   Best thing to do is get another switch from the scrappers and get a tester, set it to resistance (OHMS) and put it accross the contacts then operate the switch, you will soon figure out what goes open/closed. Also you will have a connection for illumination as well on there if you wanted to have the switch light up. Note that if you are switching anything that takes a lot of power you will need a relay.
