I am having to replace the light switch on my 2004, 225/61. The original switch that came in the halogen kit has TWO Prongs. The replacement switch, #184179 has FOUR Prongs. How do I make this work without screwing something up?

First is it a 2 (on off)position switch or 3(on on off).
Turn it to the on position and with continuity tester find the two that have it. Plug your wires into them.

Thanks for the advice. It is a 2-position switch. My Grasshopper rep just said to turn it on and try the wires on one side first then across until they work. I don't have a tester.

I did the random combination test until they came on. I appreciate the help.
