Toggle Switch ....Please help!!

[psychoti]

This is the rocket switch that my UV light had

I just got a new one from maplins.co.uk
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43005&criteria=toggle%20switch&doy=8m5

• LED illuminates when the switch is on
• Rated at 20A, 12Vdc
• Requires a 12,2mm diameter cut out

My problem is that :

Did i get the right switch?
Where should i connect the red and the yellow wire?

I don't have any idea about electronics!!

the red wire (assuming its the power source) should go to power. Yellow should go to ACC.

The ground wire on the switch is just for the LED on the switch itself. You can leave it unconnected (which will cause the LED on the switch to not work) or you can connect it to black(ground) on your powersupply.
