Switch question.

[texanidiot25]

Bought a switch a few weeks ago to control the "Evil Eyes" in the CST10. It's a little 3 prong switch, that's two way. One prong is power, one is ACC, and the other is ground. It has a little LED in the switch to light up when it's on. Problem is, it's wired in series with the switch's + and - side so of course it dims my lights outside when on. When I wire power (using the unfused ign tab on the fuse block for testing) to the ACC prong, the LED in the switch gets brighter w/ ign on, but it turns the outside lights off.. But oddly enough when you kill power to the ACC wire while it's connected, the LED in the switch turns off, but the outside lights stay bright.

Tried a few different wiring combos and have blown a fuse in the process.

My 2nd thought just now was to run a jumper wire from my positive into the ACC, hopping that would wire the switch's LED in parallel.

My basic wiring is like this

Batt---Fuse---O===O---Switch---gnd

- is series, and = is where it's parallel between the lights (to split current, but carry 12v to each light)

Any ideas how to wire this stupid switch to the LED in the switch doesn't drop the volts in the lights?
