battery? wanna show me what lights u got? and are we talking under the dash???

ok a 3 way switch is a bit diff from a SINGLE POLE DOUBLE THROW lol u need that
the center wire will go to the light, the + wire from the light will go to either the car battery, or get what is known as "add-a-circuit" in mini atm style, and get ur pwer there.

the other two poles of the switch (lets call them left and right) will go to whatever u want. For me ONE goes to a solid ground, so i can get power whenever. The other goes to the ground wire for the dome light (pink wire if im not mistaken) as that will taper them off like the dome does!!! and yes it works on leds!!!
