Looking at the Rave diagram, Pin 1 is Earth, pin 4 is the live (via whatever you're trying to switch)

The wiper motor is "live" via the ignition, and switched to earth through the dash switch. If you were to wire it the other way round just as a normal switch, you'll find that the warning light on it won't work properly.

It's not a problem though... take the power feed for your spotlight relay (fused, naturally), through the coil of the relay, then to the switch (pin 4) then to earth (pin 1) and it should work just as the rear wiper did.
