spotlight wiring switch help
I have a spotlight wiring loom (came with spots from Rigid Industries) that is wired to a 3 pole switch - Black going to earth pole, Blue to middle A pole, Red to + pole on the switch, and everything works well through a relay.

I am trying to change the switch to a bearmach one, which I believe is an exact copy of the LR OEM dash switch. However, I cannot get it to work. I have seen various threads and diagrams on here for the OEM switch (which also come with the bearmach switch), and tried multiple combinations of connections, but cannot get it to light the spots.

Can someone guide me which of the pin numbers I need to connect the Black/Earth, Red/+ and blue wires on my loom please?

I forgot to add I am not wiring in to the headlight full beam trigger. I just want a simple on off switch, but hoping to change from the current one I have installed in the cubby box, to an OEM looking one on the dash.

ok, just realised the bearmach is the same as OEM and does not operate like a normal switch. duh.

So rewired the relay and now all is good. so much for quickly changing the switches over...
