Default Quick Wiring Problem

Hey guys, I'm having a little trouble wiring KC Spot lights. Here's the weird part, I'm using Daystar rocker switches and when I plugged the wires into the switch the switch lit up and wont turn off (im pretty sure it's supposed to power off when the switch is down) and I am getting no power to my lights. Any help would be awesome!

Do you have the pinouts for the switch? Is it the 3 pole? 3 poles usually have a supply which should be fed 12v, a common that goes to ground, and an ACC which goes to the positive trigger circuit on the relay (pin 85 or 86). The other side of the trigger circuit, pin 85 or 86 depending on how it is wired, should go to ground. Pin 30 should be fused 12v from the battery. Pin 87 feeds the lights. And the light grounds go to the chassis.

Oh...and welcome to the forum.

I think this is a diagram of the switch.

Ok it's a dual LED 4 pin switch. It only has 4 pins on it, not 5?

Pin 2 - 12v fused (3A) feed either switched or unswitched.
Pin 3 - connects to pin 85 of the relay for the lights.
Pin 7 - ground.
Pin 8 - dash light circuit. See https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-e...lights-311176/.

The relay should be wired like this.
